Veterinary Social Work
In response to the latest research and community needs, Dr Lissi and the Cherished Pets team are implementing a ground-breaking Veterinary Social Work service across the veterinary and health sectors to enable widespread benefits to people and pets.
Cherished Pets
Founded in 2015, what began as a dream to support pets and vulnerable people has evolved into a ground- breaking service attracting global attention. Our vision is a world where the human-animal bond creates and contributes to the development of connected and healthy individuals and communities.
