According to the staff of City Beat, Pets In Need is the best vet helping Cincinnati pets and their people.
For pet owners, animals play a huge role in life — they’re like family members. It’s no different for people living in poverty. Pets in Need is a nonprofit that recognizes this and makes affordable veterinary care available to area low-income families.

The congregation at St. John United Church of Christ in Reading has been a supporter of Pets In Need almost since the day the clinic opened in 2013.
Recently, Joe Clay and other members of St. John’s delivered two pickup loads of pet food. We’re so grateful for their continued support!

Thinking about struggling families or people in need, many of us have a preconceived idea of who those people are.
For some, it’s easier to assume those in need are separate from their communities and quite different from their own families. However, after spending more than 35 years as a veterinarian and two years on the Pets In Need of Greater Cincinnati board of directors, I’ve learned those assumptions are often incorrect.

Charlie Nager came to the Pets In Need veterinary clinic three years ago, when his Newfoundland mix, Shadow, was ill.
The Lockland man knew his pet was suffering, and money was tight. A friend told him about the nearby clinic, where care is provided for little or no cost to those who meet income criteria. So Nager, who was experiencing tough times, came to Pets In Need.

As a veterinarian for 35 years, I’ve learned that almost every pet suffers a severe injury or illness in their lifetime, and few people have hundreds or thousands it might take to cover the cost. Pet insurance is one of the best investments a pet owner can make because it means never having to deny optimal care.
