About the Service

Pet Care Support
in Central Arkansas

Pets provide companionship, emotional support, and health benefits, but caring for them can be challenging for older adults facing mobility or financial limitations. CareLink’s Bone Appétit program removes these barriers by delivering pet food and essential supplies directly to seniors in need.

Understanding Bone Appétit

Research shows that pet ownership reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and combats loneliness. Our free pet care support ensures that no senior has to give up their beloved pet due to financial hardship.
