The AAHA Helping Pets Fund provides financial assistance through AAHA-accredited veterinary practices for emergency and non-elective veterinary care. We can help in three types of cases:
- When a pet owner is receiving certain forms of government assistance
for low-income individuals
- When a pet owner experiences a temporary financial hardship
- When a veterinary practice acts as a Good Samaritan and no pet owner exists
The Fund does not accept applications from individuals. Only AAHA-accredited veterinary practices can apply for a grant on behalf of the pet in need. Assistance is limited to $700 per AAHA-accredited practice per calendar year. The maximum available to each family is $500 per year and $1000 lifetime.
After a completed application is submitted, the AAHA Helping Pets Fund replies quickly with approval status — usually within 24 hours. AAHA-accredited practices can apply to the program, but are not obligated to do so, and funding is limited to the amounts indicated.
Please carefully review our Guidelines for Grant Seekers to determine eligibility.
