Center for Pet Family Well-Being

The Center for Pet Family Well-Being (formerly the Program for Pet Health Equity) is an interdisciplinary initiative at the University of Tennessee dedicated to strengthening the bond between people and their pets. We work to transform fragmented veterinary, social service, and community systems into integrated, community-driven One Health Systems that improve access to care and support for pet families. We envision a future in which communities collaborate to ensure every pet family—regardless of circumstance—has equitable access to the services, resources, and care they need to thrive.
