Veterinary Hope Foundation Announces Partnership with boop to Support Veterinary Mental Health and Well-Being

Veterinary Hope Foundation is pleased to announce a new partnership with boop, a mission-driven brand created to recognize, support, and celebrate the people of veterinary medicine.

Through this partnership, Veterinary Hope Foundation will receive 5% of donations generated through boop, helping expand access to mental health and well-being programs for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary students, and veterinary team members.

Veterinary medicine is meaningful, demanding, and deeply human work. Veterinary professionals regularly carry the emotional weight of caring for animals and the families who love them, often while navigating long hours, ethical tension, staffing shortages, financial limitations, grief, and difficult medical decisions. These realities can contribute to moral injury, burnout, disengagement, and quiet suffering.

Veterinary Hope Foundation provides support through professionally facilitated community groups, educational webinars, and connection-based programs designed to help veterinary professionals feel less alone and better supported.

“We are grateful to partner with boop because their mission aligns so closely with our own,” said Denise L. Kolivoski, MBA, Executive Director of Veterinary Hope Foundation. “Veterinary professionals deserve meaningful support, not only during moments of crisis, but throughout their careers. This partnership helps us continue building spaces where veterinary professionals can connect, reflect, and find hope.”

The partnership is also deeply connected to Amanda Ensor, DVM, a practicing veterinarian, recognized thought leader, and participant in Veterinary Hope Foundation’s community groups. As boop’s steward of well-being, Dr. Ensor helps ensure the brand reflects the real experiences of veterinary professionals.

“As a practicing veterinarian and someone who has participated in Veterinary Hope Foundation’s community groups, I know how powerful it can be to have a space where veterinary professionals feel understood,” said Amanda Ensor, DVM. “Vet Hope’s programs offer connection, validation, and practical support for people doing deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding work. This partnership with boop is one more way we can remind veterinary teams that they are seen, valued, and not alone.”

Unlike many first responders, veterinary teams often do not have built-in systems for debriefing or recovery, even as they regularly navigate grief, difficult decisions, and resource limitations. Veterinary Hope Foundation and boop share the belief that these challenges are not signs of weakness. They are occupational hazards — and occupational hazards deserve support, protection, and care.
