Every year, Dermcare gives a Christmas donation to a worthy cause that is close to our hearts. This year we have donated much needed funds to two charities who are doing great work in the veterinary industry.
Sophie’s Legacy is a charity that helps raise awareness for mental health in the veterinary industry by launching the national education campaign “We’re Only Human”. Sadly, the rate of suicide amongst veterinary staff is disproportionally higher than the general population. The “We’re Only Human” campaign asks pet and animal owners to take the pledge to be kind and respectful and to understand the massive pressures impacting veterinary staff.
Vets For Compassion is a volunteer organisation dedicated to improving animal welfare for all species in Australia. They provide medical care, rehabilitation and re-homing for Australian wildlife, domestic animals and farm animals. The highly trained team of veterinarians, vet nurses and wildlife rescuers respond to call outs at all hours of the day to perform life-saving surgery, rescue, rehabilitation, relocating and re-homing as well as provide emergency wildlife rescue assistance and disaster response in Australia and around the world.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
