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.
