We Care About Our Therapy Animals

Our therapy animal teams make millions of life-enhancing visits each year. These friendly and loving animals bring hope, comfort, and happiness to those suffering from pain, loneliness, mental health challenges, and many other health and well-being issues. The Cancer Care Fund is one special opportunity for us to give back to a therapy animal in need.

Fund Requirements

  • The animal must be a currently registered Pet Partners therapy animal, or a retired Pet Partners therapy animal.
  • The cancer diagnosis must be after the team was registered with the Pet Partners Therapy Animal Program.
  • The fund is available only for eligible cases in which treatment was received on or after February 1, 2016.
  • Your veterinarian must be able to provide a histopathology or cytology report to confirm the animal’s diagnosis of cancer.
  • Your veterinary clinic must be willing to either refund you or credit your account, as Pet Partners provides direct payment to the veterinary office.
