Vet Care
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Our hospitals are now scheduling wellness appointments in addition to urgent, emergency and chronic care for your pet. Extra precautions remain in place to help safeguard the health of all. Curbside admissions: pets will be admitted to the hospital by staff for their appointment. Pet owners are able to speak with vets and pay for services by phone and pets will be returned to you along with any medication if necessary, at the conclusion of your pet’s appointment. We ask that pet owners remain onsite during their pet’s appointment unless otherwise advised
We know this is not what you are used to and we look forward to welcoming pet owners back when it’s safe to do so. Thank you for your understanding!

Subsidized Pricing
Everyone is welcome at our Community Veterinary Hospitals. Second Chance strives to alleviate the suffering of pets from treatable medical conditions. We offer subsidized rates for those that cannot afford to care for a pet in need. Subsidized pricing provides access to care for pet owners on fixed incomes, ensuring that pets get the medical care they need for treatable medical conditions.
Owners who don’t qualify for subsidized rates receive great veterinary care for their pets and help provide access to care for those who need assistance as well as help pets at our adoption center. It is a win for everyone – especially the pets!
To Qualify For Subsidized Pricing: Your combined household income must be below 150% of the poverty level. Income verification is required. Please bring proof of household income (paystubs, w-2, Social Security statement, etc.) along with a photo id to qualify. Otherwise, the standard veterinary rates apply.
Please note, subsidized pricing is not available to those pet owners that are actively breeding their pets, or for the litters of those breeding pets. Subsidized pricing is meant to help pet owners who have financial restraints that limit their ability to provide veterinary care for their pet. If you are breeding your pet for sale, you are disqualified from this program. You can still welcome to use our programs but at the regular, non-subsidized rates.
