“When I first heard about the Big Hearts Fund, I was excited for a number of reasons. The hardest part of my job is delivering the news that a beloved family pet has heart disease. It becomes even more difficult when, for financial reasons, a family cannot perform the diagnostics or therapeutics necessary to address (or even cure) a heart disease. Proper medical care is expensive for animals and humans, and a lack of widespread inclusive insurance programs has created a large group of people who very much want to help their pet, but aren’t able to do so. On the other hand, there are some wonderful people who want to help these families; unfortunately, there has been a divide between those who can offer help and those who cannot afford the help their animals in need. The Big Hearts Fund is a great way to bridge that divide, allowing those who wish to help a safe, accountable and effective way to do so. I look forward to being a part of it.”

Thanks Dr. Allen! We look forward to working with you, too.
