The Jeannine S. Mackleit Pet Medical Emergency Fund helps pets access urgent, life-saving veterinary care when families face a shortfall. After your pet has been examined and you receive a treatment estimate, contact SAINT to request assistance; typical grants average about $200 and are intended to bridge small gaps that prevent timely care. Applications are reviewed using several factors, including medical urgency, financial need, eligibility, and current funding. The fund does not cover routine or preventive services such as vaccines, deworming, or heartworm prevention. In critical, immediately life-threatening situations, your veterinarian may call our emergency line to request approval. Assistance is not guaranteed, but this fund exists to help pets get the care they need when every minute counts today.
