Resources for pet owners
Nonprofit organizations serving qualifying pet owners
While the Banfield Foundation® does not provide direct support to individual pet owners, we want to provide information about other nonprofit organizations that do.
If you are a pet owner struggling to find veterinary care and pet food resources, please review this list of national veterinary care resources and local resources by state. If you are still unable to find the help you need, we encourage you to contact your local humane society and/or shelter(s); they are most likely to know about local low-cost or free services available. We also have a list of crowdfunding sites here that may be able to help.

HOPE Funds at Banfield Pet Hospital®
HOPE Funds offers financial assistance for income-qualified pet owners whose pet is suffering from an immediately life-threatening condition. You do not need to be at an existing Banfield Pet Hospital to apply for HOPE Funds, but treatment will need to be done at a Banfield Pet Hospital. Due to the high demand for assistance, not everyone who applies for HOPE Funds will be approved, and the entire cost of your pet’s treatment will not be covered. All applications submitted must be reviewed for both medical and financial eligibility.
Please contact your local Banfield Pet Hospital for more information and eligibility.
Safer Together® supports pets and people impacted by domestic violence.
Safer Together® is designed to help create a world in which victims of domestic violence and their pets can find safety together.

Be prepared for a natural disasterAbout the Banfield Foundation
Since 2015, Banfield Foundation has been making preventive care possible for the pets that need it most. Through grants and partnerships, we provide medical supplies and resources to nonprofit partners in need; support pets, people and communities in crisis; and enable veterinary professionals to deliver compassionate and inclusive preventive veterinary care in underserved and diverse areas across the United States and around the world. We also leverage the expertise and passion of Banfield Pet Hospital, part of Mars Veterinary Health, and its Associates to care for pets in need. At the Banfield Foundation, we are committed to living our collective purpose: A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS.
