Before applying for a grant, please be sure to read our eligibility guidelines. The process for applying is fairly straightforward. The pet owner will complete the application and include his/her veterinarian info. Including the vet’s correct email is extremely important  because once the applicant submits their portion of the application the vets portion will then be sent to him/her.
