Veterans With Dogs

We're proud to have teamed up with Devon-based charity Veterans With Dogs, who share our belief that mental health and wellbeing can be improved by the companionship of a dog

Having the continued support of Forthglade enables us to invest in training much-needed assistance dogs, which in turn helps transform the lives of Veterans suffering from mental health issues, following their time in the Armed Forces

How We're Supporting Veterans With Dogs

Helping support positive mental health

Funding three hero dogs Devon, Buddy & Elmo

Feeding all the hero pups in training

Supporting Hero Pups training with a nutritious diet

We provide a full Forthglade diet to all hero pups in training so they get the best nutrition as they become highly trained Hero Dogs supporting a veteran suffering from service-related mental health conditions.

 

Meet our hero pups

We've funded three hero pups for Veterans with Dogs; Devon, Buddy and Elmo. Elmo is our most recent. He is sweet natured, with a calm and easy-going personality. He was carefully selected to embark on his journey to become an assistance dog and has undertaken a lot of training with his puppy socialiser. He is almost ready to move onto his next phase, becoming a Hero Dog!

 

Helping Transform Lives

Veterans With Dogs is dedicated to providing highly trained dogs to both current and former members of the British Armed Forces, who are suffering from service-related mental health conditions such as PTSD. Founded by Craig MacLellan, Veterans With Dogs is the UK’s only charity of its kind. MacLellan himself suffered the devastating effects of a mental health condition for many years following his time in the Forces but found huge support from his own assistance dog.
