Pet care support in times of need

The RSPCA Queensland People & Pets Program is a community outreach initiative supporting people by removing barriers to pet care, improving animal welfare, and helping keep pets with the families who love them.

Illness, limited access to veterinary care, financial hardship and a lack of information about appropriate animal care can make it difficult for devoted pet owners to provide the support their animals need.

Across Queensland, our People & Pets Program works to keep people and their pets together by providing free pet care support, including veterinary care, pet food, bedding, leads and collars, enrichment items, and expert behaviour advice.
