Our founder and his inspiration– Tony & Behr

About Us

In 2001, Anthony Nuncio and his dog Behr were hiking when Behr accidentally fell off a cliff. He immediately dialed 911 and to his disappointment, was told that a response unit could not rescue his pet. Although Behr survived his injuries, Anthony made it his mission to establish an emergency response service for animals in crisis. Understanding that medical treatment for animals has its financial burdens, Anthony knew there had to be an alternative. With this in mind he has worked hard in establishing Pet-A-Medic, an emergency ambulance service, so that every animal would have a fighting chance.

How It Works -
