Saving Pets in Crisis: How Besty BnB Helps Families in Crisis
In this powerful episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, sit down with Matt Krentz and Andy Bond, the co-founders of BestyBnB.com, a groundbreaking platform designed to protect pets when their owners face crises such as domestic violence, illness, or homelessness.
The discussion reveals shocking statistics—50% of people in crisis refuse lifesaving services because they can't bring their pets, and 70% of pets left behind suffer abuse or worse. Matt and Andy share how their innovative technology connects social service agencies with foster homes, ensuring pets stay safe and are reunited with their owners.
Listeners will hear touching stories, including how six therapy turtles were fostered from domestic violence and how Besty BnB has provided 6,000 safe nights for pets in just a few months. The episode also explores how veterinary professionals and pet lovers can get involved in expanding this critical service nationwide.
