Abstract

The animal-human bond is important to consider when dealing with the social, medical, and psychological outcomes of human society. The concept of trans-species food security is not new. However, the concept of food insecurity in companion animals negatively impacting human food security is relatively unexplored. This study describes point-in-time self-reported food security for companion animals of homeless veterans. The sample (N=26) is made up of veterans who attended the North Coast Stand Down. Program and practice recommendations are made.
