Community Involvement & Carbon Pawprint
At Healing Paws Veterinary Care, our purpose is to provide a better quality of life for pets and the people who love them, but in a way that goes beyond providing veterinary care. This is why we are dedicated to increasing our community involvement pawprint by sharing a portion of our proceeds with charities that are making a difference and decreasing our carbon pawprint by making choices to better our environment for the future.
