89% of pet owners surveyed feel pets help improve mental health during the Covid-19 pandemic, however, only around 50% between 16-34 years old ever own pets before. With the rise in cost, how can we improve the lack of sustainable interaction between pets and youth from lower and middle income?
Hey Bud, is a social enterprise platform where youth from lower to middle income families are able to gain valuable interaction with pets. From these interactions, youths can connect with the community, fulfil emotional satisfaction, obtain health benefits, and attain experience and growth in characteristics.
To ensure the safety of both the youth and the pet Hey Bud will be conducting sessions with the youth to ensure they are suitable to handle the pets and are feeling confident before allowing them to enter the platforms. We also required pet owners or organizations to have pet insurance for their pets.
