A little knowledge. A healthier, happier pet.Our sources & standards

Our sister non-profit

Care has a way of reaching further.

The animals we know make us care about the ones we haven’t met. That is why Pet Health supports World Animal Rescue Network, a non-profit focused on animal welfare.

From understanding to action

A thoughtful decision starts with information: what an animal needs, what threatens its welfare and what kind of support is appropriate. WARN brings together animal guides, rescue resources and appeals so readers can explore those questions.

Pet Health concentrates on everyday decisions for UK pet owners. WARN offers a wider animal-welfare perspective. We link the two where it helps the reader: a bird-care article can lead to information about the wild-bird trade; a horse-care guide can open a conversation about working-equine welfare.

Choose how you want to help

Read and share a well-sourced guide, explore suitable volunteering or support an appeal. A financial gift is optional. If you choose to give, follow the donation link on WARN’s own website and read the current terms there.

An appeal is a request for support. It is not, by itself, evidence that a grant has been awarded or a rescue completed. WARN’s funding and transparency information explains how to assess its published plans and results.

For an animal needing immediate help in the UK, contact a local vet or an appropriate rescue organisation. Making an online donation does not arrange emergency veterinary treatment.

Our support and editorial independence

10% of PETHEALTH+'s commercial net profits fund the World Animal Rescue Network. Our pledge concerns commercial net profits, rather than a percentage of every page view or transaction. Direct donations to WARN are separate from payments that support Pet Health.

Readers should be able to understand both the information and the relationship behind a link. We identify WARN as our sister non-profit and keep source references, health guidance and commercial disclosures visible. Donations do not change our advice or how practices are described.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is World Animal Rescue Network?
World Animal Rescue Network is a non-profit sharing animal-welfare information and raising support for eligible organisations. Its website provides animal guides, rescue information and appeals with funding terms.
How does Pet Health support WARN?
10% of PETHEALTH+'s commercial net profits fund the World Animal Rescue Network. We also share relevant animal-welfare reading and appeals. This is our commitment; it should not be read as a report of grants already paid. Our health guidance remains independent of donations.
Do I need to donate to use these guides?
No. Pet Health guides and tools are free to read. You can learn about animal welfare, share a useful resource or consider practical volunteering without making a donation.
How can I choose an appeal?
Read the appeal purpose, intended use of funds, recipient status and donation terms on WARN’s website. Check whether a figure describes a target or a completed result, and choose a level of support that is comfortable for you.

When it can’t wait, call your vet. Breathing difficulty, collapse or suspected poisoning need urgent advice.
