National Frankie's Friends Fund — Frankie's Friends National Frankie's Friends Fund DONATE TO FRANKIE'S FRIENDS NATIONAL Frankie's Friends Fund Application Frankie’s Friends Fund provides financial assistance grants to family owned pets in need of lifesaving emergency or specialty veterinary care whose caregivers cannot afford the full cost of treatment.

This program is designed to help with the treatment of emergency and specialty medical conditions where the pet would otherwise suffer, be euthanized, or relinquished without proper veterinary care. If your pet is in need of immediate care, where any delay will put the animal at risk, it is your responsibility and duty to seek care for the pet immediately.

There is no guarantee that the fund will provide financial assistance so please do not delay care for your pet while waiting for a response on your application. Grants are not guaranteed, and will not exceed $2000. 00 per pet, per household.

Due to the large volume of applications we receive, the program is unable to help everyone who applies. Frankie's Friends does not reimburse for payments already made and will not consider reimbursement situations of any kind. All payments are made directly to the treating veterinarian and never to an individual.

Before applying, you must have: An estimate of the cost of care from a veterinarian that has already seen your pet, a clear diagnosis, and a specific treatment plan with a "good" prognosis as determined by a licensed veterinarian. Frankie's Friends mission is specific to emergency and specialty veterinary care of family-owned pets only.

Our grants do not cover: The cost of the initial exam, any diagnostics to determine the pet’s prognosis and course of treatment, primary veterinary care such as dental work, vaccinations, spays/neuters, monthly medications, euthanasias or the treatment of strays, rescue organizations, or foster pets. Our funding is limited.

As a result, we cannot assist with the cost of care for pets treated at hospitals that have their own foundations, funds, or internal assistance programs. This includes but is not limited to pets being treated at Banfield, BluePearl, VCA, and several others.

Before completing our application for assistance, we encourage you to visit your hospital's website to see if they have their own assistance program, or inquire with your hospital manager to see if there are funds available for your pet.
