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. 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. You will need to provide a photo ID and proof of household income:
- Pay Stubs (minimum 1 months worth)
- SSI/SSDI/Veterans benefits letter
- DTA benefits letter (No cards accepted. Applicable ONLY if you receive CASH benefits.)
- Most recent tax returns (must include adjusted gross income)
- Unemployment Verification
Documents must be legible and contain the person’s name and income amount. Income verification is required for each person in the household over the age of 18. All documentation must be provided prior to the start of your pet’s appointment and may be submitted in advance via email. We cannot accept the following documents: EBT/SNAP Benefits, DTA Cards, WIC, Medicare/Medicaid, W2’s, 1099s, or any other tax document other than tax returns.
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.
We need your help to see every pet that needs us:
Please call us if you are unable to make your pets appointment.
We ask for 24-hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment. Last minute cancellations or no-shows may result in late fees of up to $25.
Please arrive on time.

Our hospitals accept the following payment options:
Need Help Paying..?
We work very hard to keep your pet’s medical care affordable, but for those who may need to pay over time, Second Chance accepts CareCredit and ScratchPay. Visit their websites to see if one of these options is right for you.
