As a country, we rely on service animals to help us in many different ways. They are an integral part of our lives, and we owe them a great debt for their years of service. That’s why we are so grateful for organisations like the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals that provide retired service animals with the care they need and deserve!

Today we are speaking with The Rt. Hon. Countess Bathurst, Chair of the NRFSA and LWDG Society Member, Management Committee Member, and Show and Events Coordinator, Tracey Wysocka, about retired service animals and why they deserve the best medical treatment.

Podcast Edition:

Who are the NFRSA?

The National Fund for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA) is a fantastic organisation that addresses the financial costs and care of retired service animals across the country.

Their main aims are to assist those caring for retired animals by subsidising vet bills and other related expenses, while also promoting the extraordinary work service animals do.

Additionally, the NFRSA seeks to support existing local charity organisations in order to recognise their successes and lend assistance wherever this may be needed. This is an incredible organisation doing vital work when it comes to supporting retired service animals.

In this week’s podcast, The Countess spoke to LWDG Founder Jo Perrott about the importance of providing medical care to retired service animals:

“It is essential that we provide the best possible medical treatment for our retired service animals. They have given so much to us, and it’s only right that we repay them with the proper care they deserve. Without organisations like ours, owners of these animals may struggle to provide the medical care these animals may need.”

Tracey Wysocka, who has worked closely with working dogs in her career, echoed the Countess’s sentiment:

“I know how much these animals give to us and it is an honour to be able to provide them with the care they need in their retirement. We are grateful for any donations or help we can get so that these animals can continue to live life comfortably after all the service they have given us.”
