Essential Care
Our Essential Care services include physical exams and limited treatment for the most common illnesses and injuries in cats and dogs.
Our Essential Care services are designed to support families facing financial hardship who want the very best for their pets but may struggle to afford veterinary care. Whether navigating job loss, living paycheck to paycheck, or managing limited resources, our clients deserve access to compassionate, affordable treatment.
If you already have access to veterinary care, we encourage you to continue using your regular provider to help keep these services available for those with the greatest need.
