MyPetChild Pet Financial Aid Program
MyPetChild.com is offering one-time financial grants (up to $200 USD) to individual pet owners who are experiencing financial hardship. These grants can be applied to the cost of veterinary treatment (non-routine and non-emergency only).
Please don’t rely on our grant only as we are already processing a large volume of applications. As a small team, we are only able to offer grants to a limited number of applicants. There are many other financial aid options available nationwide and we encourage you to apply to all that are applicable to your situation in order to improve your chances of getting a grant.
To Qualify for Help
- Applicant must show proof of financial hardship.
- Applicant must be a resident in the US.
- Grant is to be used for non-emergency and non-routine veterinary care.
- Applicant’s pet must be spayed/neutered.
- Vet treatment has not already been done and paid for.
Other Important Guidelines
- The veterinary practice where you seek to get treatment from must be based in the US.
- A diagnosis is required before you apply for the grant.
- MyPetChild will only make payment to a veterinarian, clinic or hospital. Funds are never disbursed to an applicant.
- Acceptable proof of financial hardship includes copies of recent bank statement, last pay stub, or copy of latest tax return.
- Don’t send over any documents including sensitive details (e.g. social security, bank account number) unless we request you to do so.
Application Process
1. The applicant will contact the veterinary clinic that is treating their cat or dog and confirm they will work with organizations that offer financial assistance.
2. The applicant will read through all guidelines on this page and submit a pre-screening form if they qualify for the financial grant.
3. MyPetChild team will review the pre-screening form. If approved, the team will respond back to the applicant for proof of financial hardship and other required details.
4. MyPetChild team will send a confirmation email once the application is approved. You are welcome to proceed with getting the veterinary care for your pet once the confirmation email is received.
5. The veterinary practice will email MyPetChild with a detailed invoice requesting for payment. MyPetChild will transfer the fee via bank wire transfer.
