Using data collected from surveys, the Companion Animal Network Australia (CANA) provides an up-to-date snapshot of the community’s views on keeping pets and their owners together for longer.
Pet Friendly Aged Care was established to highlight the often-catastrophic emotional harm caused when older people are forced to give up their pets upon moving into an aged care home, and to provide a more practical way forward.
Our goals are to:
Increase the number of pet-friendly aged care support services to prevent animals from being euthanised or surrendered to shelters
Maximise the physical and emotional health of our animal-loving older people
Promote the social benefits for communities who welcome pets
