Purple Heart Day

Today, Wounded Paw Project ® honors the brave men and women who were wounded or killed in combat while serving our nation.

The Purple Heart is America's oldest military decoration, tracing its origins to General George Washington's Badge of Military Merit, established on August 7, 1782. Today, it remains one of our nation's highest symbols of courage, sacrifice, and service.

Our Co-Founder, Ernesto P. Hernandez III, is a Purple Heart recipient. His journey of healing—and the unconditional love of a rescue dog named Daisy—inspired the creation of Wounded Paw Project ® and our mission of Helping on Both Ends of the Leash™.

Today, we remember those who never came home, honor those who continue to carry visible and invisible wounds, and thank the families who have stood beside them through every step of the journey.

To every recipient and your loved ones: Thank you. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Today, we pause to honor the two American service members who gave their lives while serving our nation in Jordan.

Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, those who were injured, and the service member who remains missing.

May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment of all who wear our nation's uniform.

We will remember.

Every Man and Woman Serving Our Nation

Today, Wounded Paw Project ® pauses to recognize the courage, commitment, and sacrifice of every member of the United States Armed Forces.

Whether you're serving here at home or deployed far from those you love, please know that you are not forgotten.

To those currently deployed overseas, standing the watch at sea, or carrying out missions around the world—though we may not be there beside you, we are thinking of you.

We also hold in our hearts the spouses, children, parents, and loved ones who faithfully wait for your safe return. Your strength, resilience, and sacrifice are an important part of every mission.

From all of us at ®, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to our nation.

Stay safe.

We look forward to welcoming you home.

Disasters don't just destroy homes... they can destroy your pet's food, too.

When disaster strikes, most of us think about protecting our families. But our pets depend on us for every meal, every day.

This video was inspired by a real incident where flood damage destroyed two 25-pound bags of premium dog food. It serves as a reminder that something as simple as feeding our pets can become a challenge when disaster hits.

🐾 Take a few minutes today to build or refresh your pet emergency kit.

✔️ Extra pet food
✔️ Fresh drinking water
✔️ Medications
✔️ Leash and collar
✔️ Vaccination records
✔️ Comfort items

A little preparation today can help keep your best friend safe—and fed—tomorrow.

🎙️ We're also excited to introduce the upcoming ELVIS The Podcast Dog Educational Series! Through short, engaging videos, Elvis will share practical pet-preparedness tips, disaster-readiness advice, and simple ways every family can better protect the animals who depend on them. We hope you'll follow along, share the series, and help spread these important lessons with fellow pet lovers.

Because preparedness isn't just about people...

It's about every member of the family.
