DARIEN, Conn., December 12, 2018 – PetCareTV, a division of Health Media Network – a leading and trusted Digital Point of Care company, announced a partnership with Southeastern Guide Dogs, dedicated to transforming lives by creating and nurturing extraordinary partnerships between people and dogs throughout the United States. Southeastern Guide Dogs trains dogs for people who are blind and for veterans. The partnership will highlight their services and good work on PetCareTV, as well as provide additional opportunity for fundraising support.
Beginning in December, PetCareTV will debut Pip – an animated short film about the journey of a small but mighty guide dog pup. The film has become a viral sensation with its heartfelt story and appealing characters. The film will be aired on PetCareTV along with a donation message to encourage viewers to support the organization’s work and mission.
“At PetCareTV, our core values speak to the desire to support those organizations who are making an impact on companion animals and the people they serve. By partnering with Southeastern Guide Dogs, we are able to shine a light on an organization that is doing important work in this regard.” said Christopher J. Culver, CEO of PetCareTV. “We are committed to educating people, and we are extremely excited to have Southeastern Guide Dogs on board with us as a content partner.”
According to a 2018 PetCareTV Survey, 95 percent of network veterinarian partners say that PetCareTV is valuable to their practice. Additionally, close to 70 percent of pet parents support pet causes and want to see programming around the topic.
“Southeastern Guide Dogs is honored to partner with PetCareTV to promote our delightful animated short film, Pip, in veterinarians’ offices everywhere,” noted Titus Herman, CEO of Southeastern Guide Dogs. “Pip has already won more than 100 million hearts worldwide with her underdog’s tale of four small paws and one big dream. Just like the real superhero dogs that we breed, raise and train, Pip will grow up to save the day—everyday—for people with visual impairments and veterans with disabilities. This is a wonderful opportunity for additional viewers to learn about the mission of Southeastern Guide Dogs, and to help us transform lives with dignity, freedom and independence.” https://pipfilm.com/
