Before you go

Teaching hospitals often see patients by appointment or referral. Call to ask whether your pet can be seen, what the first visit costs, and whether payment plans or assistance funds are available.

If cost is the barrier, Paying for Care compares grants, payment plans and fundraising, with a checklist of what to have ready.
