Several elements of the company's vision and mission statements reflect the company's dedication to achieving the greater social good. These commitments also relate to aspects of a Christian worldview. A closer look at the mission reveals that the company intends to ensure pet medications are readily available to pet owners (PetMeds, n.d.). They primarily achieve this mission statement by providing affordable pet health products. When pet products are affordable, they become accessible to a large number of pet owners. We can deduce that this is a commitment towards the greater social good since all pets can have access to adequate healthcare even when the income of the owner is little. The vision of the company reflects compassionate care. The vision envisions a situation where every pet is provided with a happy, healthy, and long life.

In addition, the Christian worldview advocates for service and care (Vaca, 2019). Jesus strongly advocated for caring for one another. For instance, prior to his crucifixion, he washed the disciples’ feet and encouraged them to serve others. Part of the greater social good for PetMeds company is caring for pets. Therefore, it is proper to conclude that thi...
