We have discussed on this show, the many ways that pets enrich our lives, and the ways specific benefits that the provide for the ill and aging. We have not discussed, however, how frequently seniors pet owners choose feeding their pet rather than feeding or caring for themselves. Fortunately, there is a response in motion. This December, CICOA launched a pilot program offering pet food and supplies to low-income and homebound seniors. Here to discuss this newly launched Pet Connect program, it’s origins, and aspirations, we have Tauhric Brown, President & CEO of CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions. Listen to learn more!
