Our Community Mission
At Ralston Vet, we’re passionate about supporting and educating pet families together. This means offering help and friendship to families across the Omaha metro, including our Ralston Vet families. As employee owners, we’re not just employees; we’re your neighbors, dedicated to our local community.
Supporting Community
Christmas Drive
This Winter, our teams came together for a Christmas Drive benefitting families served by Project Harmony. We had the opportunity to deliver a trunk load of gifts and Christmas goodies to Project Harmony headquarters. It fills our hearts to support local families and know we’re contributing to every family member in the community.
BRAVECTO Cares
Does your family use Bravecto for flea & tick prevention? If so, you’re helping us change lives! As part of the BRAVECTO Cares program has partnered with NEADS to provide essential care to service dogs in training. The NEADS organization trains and provides World Class Service Dogs for those with disabilities. The Bravecto Cares partnership helps to supply flea and tick protection, vaccines, and financial support to NEADS so they can maintain training programs.
Tails n’ Trails
The 9th Annual Tails ’n Trails Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, and 1-Mile Walk raised over $10,000 to benefit five local rescue groups: Pug Partners of Nebraska; Hands, Hearts and Paws; Muddy Paws Second Chance Rescue; The Good Life Bulldog Rescue; and Harbor of Hope Dog Rescue. After a beautiful day on the trails, all proceeds were divided amongst the five 501(c)3 non-profit rescue groups. We had the best day supporting the rescue community!
Story Time at Baright Public Library
We love every chance we get to visit Ralston’s Baright Public Library. This spring Ralston Vet was invited to read pet books during children’s story time, believe us when we say we had as much fun as our reading buddies!
Afya
We’re a proud supporter of Merck’s Afya Program https://www.afya.org/ Every time your pet family is vaccinated with a Merck vaccine at Ralston Vet, you protect more than your pet. Each vaccination helps The Afya Program donate canine rabies vaccines to developing countries around the world. Thank you for doing your part to help us reach the goal of erasing rabies across the globe by 2030!
Ralston Vet Compassionate Care Fund
We’re partnered with the Veterinary Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3), to help care for pets in need in our community. The compassionate care fund is used to directly support pet families, 100% of funds go directly to medical care. Last year, the Veterinary Care Foundation and community donations assisted pet families in crisis, supported pet families that were harmed or displaced due to local disasters, and allowed us to care for service animals including Ralston’s K-9 police officer.
Veterinary Care Foundation
In 2023, together with our Ralston Vet community we helped over 110 area pets receive the care they needed! Thank you to the generosity of donors and our dedicated clients for making these amazing gifts possible.
