• Humane Advocacy Veterinary Assistance Program Questionnaire

  • Our program helps pet owners in Alameda & Contra Costa counties who can't afford vet care. If your pet needs medical help (not just spaying/neutering), we might be able to assist.

    Our Humane Advocacy staff will work with you to get vet appointments at our clinic or another vet. We can support you with funding and make sure your pet gets the care they need.

     To get help from our program, pet owners must:

    • Fill out and send in our Veterinary Assistance Program Questionnaire.
    • Live in Alameda or Contra Costa County. 
    • Be approved by our Humane Advocacy (HA) staff for veterinary care.
    • Meet certain income guidelines based on federal poverty levels. 
    • Show proof of owning the pet for at least 30 days (for example: vaccination records, microchip info, or a photo with a timestamp).
    • Follow all East Bay SPCA & Humane Advocacy rules and procedures.

    Other Things to Know: 

    • Our Humane Advocacy staff will help schedule vet appointments for you.
    • A vet must confirm your pet's long-term health is good.
    • We can't help with ongoing, specialty, emergency, or preventative vet care.
    • Submitting this questionnaire does not guarantee financial assistance.

    We understand how hard it is when a pet is sick. East Bay SPCA and our vet partners are here to support you through this. We treat everyone and their pets with respect, and we expect the same in return. If a client shows abusive, disrespectful, or disruptive behavior, assistance will end.
