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.
Being able to partner fully socialised and healthy young dogs, who have had the very best start in life thanks to Forthglade’s incredible support, with veterans experiencing mental health challenges has a truly life-changing impact. The assistance dogs help reduce anxiety, interrupt trauma responses, and rebuild confidence. This impact extends far beyond the individual. Families tell us they’ve ‘got their person back’, a parent who can re-engage with their children, a partner who can sleep through the night, a loved one who smiles again. We couldn’t do this without the trusted, values-led support of Forthglade.Sally Williams, Trustee, Veterans With Dogs
Veterans With Dogs are 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. We're proud to have been partnered with Veterans With Dogs since 2019 and during this time we've sponsored three new assistance dogs, including their care and training, as well as providing all the food requirements for every assistance dogin training with the charity.

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.
Good quality, natural dog food is vital for an assistance dog’s overall health and performance. Our dogs need to be in tip-top condition, and Forthglade’s balanced, natural food helps them look and feel their best. Staying focused, alert, and comfortable throughout the day is essential to their work. We are incredibly grateful that Forthglade can support our pups from such an early age. Starting on high-quality nutrition as soon as training begins gives them the very best foundation for their future roles.Becky Aggett, Training Manager, Veterans With Dogs
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.
