CancerCare, the leading national nonprofit organization providing free, professional support services for anyone affected by cancer, is continuing to support pet owners affected by cancer with the CancerCare Pet Assistance & Wellness (PAW) Program.

This national program is comprised of the following core services:
• Limited financial assistance to qualified patients who are both owners of a cat or dog and in active treatment to offset expenses, including pet food, pet walking/sitting, boarding fees, veterinarian expenses, medications and lab fees
• Educational programs and materials focused on caring for pets throughout the cancer journey, to cover topics such as how to care for one’s pet during cancer treatment, guidance on how to reduce one’s risk of infection
from pets, as well as finding local support programs
• Free counseling and case management services for both people with cancer and their loved ones
