Financial Assistance

Need help paying for your pet’s treatment? At check in, please ask us for a financial assistance application. While we cannot guarantee that funding will be awarded, we always seek to connect our customers with resources to care for their pets.

If you are awarded funding, we’d ask that you complete a model release and allow AHS to take a photograph of your pet to provide to the generous organizations that fund our financial assistance programs.
