Bideawee Inc

Pet memorial parks:bideawee understands that pets are family and recognizes that the loss of a four-legged companion should be treated with the same compassion and respect as the loss of any loved one. With that in mind, our founder, flora kibbe, established the bideawee pet memorial parks in 1916 so that cherished pets would have a beautiful final resting place, and families would always have a place to honor their memories.

Animal hospital:providing expert medical care for pets for over a century. The veterinary staff at bideawee adheres to a practice of individualized consultative care and works with each client to determine the best course of care for their companion animal that fits within the individual boundaries of the pet/human relationship and lifestyle. The animal hospitals at bideawee are accredited by the new york state veterinary medical society and provide expert veterinary care from vaccinations and check-ups to complex surgeries.

Community initiatives:bideawee's community initiatives program provides under-resourced pet parents with the free veterinary care, pet food and supplies they need to keep their pets healthy, and to keep them where they belong - in their loving homes. Our programs have provided thousands of pounds of free pet food to new yorkers in need and our wellness clinics have provided free core vaccinations as well as preventative and acute illness care. Additionally, our fci program provides free spay/neuter services and support to communities in nyc and long island.

Volunteering at bideawee:bideawee relies heavily on our volunteers to support the staff in a variety of ways. While most of our volunteers work directly with our cats and dogs to socialize, clean and care for them, additional volunteer roles include attending and assisting at mobile adoption and media events offsite, doing administrative tasks at our front desk and for our accounting and development departments as well as our pet memorial parks, driving our transport vehicles to get animals safely between our sites, and running our pet loss support group to help the general public handle the grief associated with losing a family pet. Additionally, we work with specific groups teens, girl and boy scouts, schools, and corporate groups who volunteer their time to help with single events or ongoing projects.one of our signature volunteer programs is placing our pet therapy teams throughout nassau county. Recognizing the myriad of benefits that the relationship between people and pets can provide, bideawee launched its pet therapy program in 1982. Trained volunteer handlers take their own family pet -mainly dogs -to visit nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and more to provide love and companionship to those in need.
