A local veterinary care clinic is showing their appreciation for the dogs who work to protect and support the community, from detecting threats to comforting victims, and aiding in search and rescue missions.
CVETS (Columbia Veterinary Emergency Trauma and Specialty) has announced a new initiative providing free emergency and specialty veterinary care to local law enforcement working dogs injured in the line of duty.
“These dogs put their lives on the line every day, and they deserve the very best care in return,” said Dr. Mike Schlicksup, co-founder and CEO of CVETS. “Offering this care at no cost is a small gesture compared to the loyalty and service they provide.”
As part of this initiative, CVETS will cover the full cost of emergency and specialty services for actively working dogs in local law enforcement who have been injured in the line of duty.
“This is about more than just medicine — it’s about gratitude,” added Dr. Tracy Schlicksup, co-founder of CVETS. “These animals are heroes, and we’re proud to stand behind them and the teams they serve with.”
“CVETS has been there for our K9s in the most critical times,” said Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, “They have provided for the medical needs of our K9s without hesitation. They really do care.”
Schlicksup says they’re committed to supporting not just pets and their families, but also the greater community. This initiative furthers that mission by ensuring those who serve —both human and canine — have access to the highest level of veterinary care when they need it most.
