The newly formed Galaxy Vets Foundation will raise funds, and collect and deliver supplies to organizations in need, as well as provide pet owners free access to professional veterinary care through its telehealth platform.
Ukraine is my motherland. We want to aid the best way we know how, helping animals. We encourage individuals and organizations to donate to this good cause. This war is not just about the future of Ukraine. It is about the future of humanity.” – Ivan Zak, DVM, CEO
The group is seeking veterinarians and veterinary technicians willing to volunteer from their homes to provide free telehealth services and aid the people affected by the war and the animals in their care.

Currently, there is an acute shortage of funding and resources, primarily medications, pet food and supplies. Lack of access to veterinary care and professional advice on pet health is another issue we will address by providing free multi-lingual telehealth services and informational resources on our website. We want to ensure continuity of veterinary care in these difficult times.” – Andrew Ciccolini, Galaxy Vets Foundation Director
