Healthy Pets New Zealand

Each is passionate about outcome focussed research that assists companion animals in New Zealand.
Fundraising at Healthy Pets
Healthy Pets doesn't receive any government grants so fundraises through sponsorships, bequests and donations for outcome-focused research. This research makes a difference to the lives of kiwi pets and their owners.

They recently began funding research into the value of pets to society and the human-pet bond.
