Pet Information Form

Treatment Estimate: Please attach an itemized, written estimate for the cost of treatment. As we are a nonprofit organization, FVHP asks participating veterinarians to donate a small portion of their time or services on each approved treatment, typically 15-25%, in an effort to reduce the cost of the treatment.
Please include the amount you are willing to donate in the estimate. Friends & Vets Helping Pets funds treatments for curable (lifesaving, not life prolonging) illnesses, injuries or conditions such as tumors, broken bones, ambulatory care, expensive medication, or post-surgical prosthetics such as a K-9 cart. FVHP does not fund preventative measures or diagnostics like x-ray, ultrasound or MRI tests.

Our Process:

Friends & Vets Helping Pets has a carefully designed application process that begins online at www.FriendsandVetsHelpingPets.org. All applicants must be prepared to show documentation of financial need at this time. During this process, we work with the applicant to see how much they can afford to pay. Because we rely upon the judgment and experience of the veterinarian to guide our funding decisions, we ask that each vet complete a short form to become registered with us prior to working together. This allows us to become familiar with you and you with us. The veterinarian submits a diagnosis/treatment protocol and cost estimate of the treatment for the pet. As we are a 501c3 nonprofit, FVHP requests that the veterinarian donate a small portion of their time or services on each approved treatment, typically 15 – 25%, in an effort to reduce the cost of the treatment. This allows you to help the family/pet and still make a profit. Please include the amount you are willing to donate in the estimate. Next, depending on availability of funding, we provide the difference in the form of a grant paid directly to the veterinary clinic/hospital treating the pet. By working together as a team, these lifesaving surgeries and treatments become more affordable and all parties have a vested interest in the outcome.

Friends & Vets Helping Pets funds treatments for curable (lifesaving, not life prolonging) diseases such as tumors, broken bones, ambulatory care, expensive medication, or post-surgical prosthetics such as a K-9 cart. These treatments are not typically covered by most animal welfare groups. FVHP does not fund diagnostics or preventative measures like x-ray, ultrasound or MRI tests.
