🐾 October Is National Pet Wellness Month

It’s a great time to take a closer look at the everyday care that helps our pets live healthier, happier lives.

Regular checkups, a healthy weight, good nutrition, and a safe home environment all play an important role in preventing illness and catching potential problems early.

But there’s another important part of your pet’s health: having a veterinarian you trust.

Your veterinarian can be a valuable partner in your pet’s health, from routine wellness visits to unexpected medical concerns. And finding the right vet before an emergency happens can make all the difference.

How to Choose a Veterinarian: Our latest blog shares what to look for when choosing a veterinary practice, what to expect at your pet’s first visit, and why establishing a relationship with a vet ahead of time matters.

What a special afternoon at The Pines!

On September 20, with almost 100 supporters, veterinary partners, pet families, volunteers, and friends came together in Sausalito to celebrate the community behind Sage Compassion for Animals.

We shared stories and learned from veterinary researcher Dr. Samantha Evans, connected with Sage Compassion for Animals grant recipients, and spent the afternoon celebrating the people who help make veterinary care possible for pets in need.

Because keeping pets with the families who love them takes a community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Gil Purcell and Roxanne Sheridan for generously making The Pines available as our event venue.

🐾 Thank You for Helping Neighbors Help Neighbors

Our Neighbors Helping Neighbors campaign has come to a close, and we’re so grateful to everyone who showed up for Bay Area pets and families.

Whether you donated, shared our fundraiser, spread the word, or supported Sage in another way, you helped make this possible.

Together, we not only met the $25,000 matching challenge from the Del Vecchio Family—we exceeded it. And because of this community, 30 pets will receive the veterinary care they need.

Behind every one of those pets is a family facing an unexpected veterinary emergency. Your generosity means those families have a better chance to get the care their pets need and stay together.

Thank you for being part of a community that shows up for its neighbors. You helped create 30 more moments of healing.

🐾 “It’s So Nice to Have Our Dog Back.”

Pancake is the beloved “baby” of a big Polynesian family, surrounded by children, teenagers, babies, and grandparents who adore her.

Then suddenly, Pancake stopped eating, became lethargic, lost weight, and developed bloody discharge. Her family learned she had pyometra, a serious uterine infection requiring emergency surgery.

The cost of care was more than her family could manage, leaving them frightened and unsure how they could help their beloved dog.

With support from Sage Compassion for Animals and care from the team at Veterinary Emergency Group, Pancake was able to get the treatment she needed.

Today, she’s stronger than ever and back to her diva self, wagging her tail, following the kids around for bacon, going on walks, and watching for the Amazon driver.

Her family shared: “We couldn’t have made it home with our dog if it wasn’t for all of you.”

Your support helps families get through unexpected veterinary emergencies and keeps beloved pets with the people who love them.

🐾 August Impact at Sage Compassion for Animals 🐾

Because of your compassion, more pets received the urgent veterinary care they needed, and more families were able to keep their beloved companions by their side.

In August, together we made it possible for:

23 pets to receive emergency veterinary grants
$48,543 in lifesaving veterinary care to be provided
Families to access care for urgent conditions including urinary stones, broken bones, feline urinary obstruction, and more

Behind every number is a family facing an unexpected emergency, and finding hope through the support of this compassionate community.

Together with our network of more than 60 veterinary partners across the Bay Area, we're able to say “yes” to families when their pets need care most. Every grant represents more than financial assistance. It represents a moment of healing, a family kept together, and a pet who can continue to be there for the people who love them.

Help create more moments of healing for pets and the families who love them.

🐾 “Thank you again for your help in such a difficult, stressful time! I’m so thankful for the help. I know you are such a big help to many people.”

When Draco suffered a painful tail injury that required surgery, her family wasn’t sure how they would manage the cost of the care she needed.

With support from Sage Compassion for Animals and the team at VEG San Jose, Draco received the surgery she needed. Today, she’s back home, playing and relaxing with her sister, and back to being herself.

Moments of healing like Draco’s are possible because our community shows up for Bay Area pets and families when they need it most. Donate today - https://buff.ly/kGxH7qU
