Help paying a vet bill Paused

Connects low-income elderly (65+), blind or disabled pet owners (household income at or under 135% of federal poverty guidelines; one pet enrolled at a time; reapply each calendar year) with participating vet clinics that give pro bono care, and pays for some care beyond that; not for emergencies, and approval can take a month or more. New client applications are currently paused.

Before you go

Programs like this usually have rules about income, location, the kind of care covered and how much they can pay. Many pay the veterinarian directly. Read the requirements before applying, and have your estimate and proof of income ready.

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