Provide lifelong vet care and financial support for retired service animals

Summary

We want the UK Government to create a national support scheme to provide lifelong veterinary care and financial assistance for retired service animals, including police dogs, military dogs, and police horses. Service animals protect the public and support the emergency services and armed forces. Many retire with injuries or health conditions linked to their service. Ongoing care costs often fall to former handlers, adopters, or charities. We want a national support scheme or pension to help fund lifelong veterinary care and welfare support for retired service animals.
