Financial barriers

Financial barriers are the top reason pet parents can't get the veterinary care their pets need. In some cases, financial barriers to veterinary care force pet parents, who are experiencing times of financial hardship, to give up their beloved pets to animal shelters. In some cases, the pets’ lives are put at risk.
According to a recent survey:
• 3 out of 10 pet parents struggle to afford sick care.
• 6 out of 10 pet parents face financial barriers when it comes to emergency vet care.

Murray’s Story: The Life-Saving Intervention for an 8-Month-Old Kitten

In March of 2024, Murray, an 8-month-old kitten suffered from gastrointestinal blockage due to the accidental ingestion of a foreign object. Surgery was the only treatment option in order to save the kitten’s life.

SplootCare Fund provided the financial support needed for Murray’s pet parent to avail of the life-saving surgery. Without prompt treatment, Murray’s condition would have been fatal.

Now, after recovery, Murray is in great health, ready to grow and face life’s adventures.

From Owner

My dog Nova had a severe case of pyometra and they went above and beyond to make sure my fur baby got the care she needed. From Callie to Marissa all the way to Dr Ratchford and his team. We are having some hardships at the moment and they all were very caring to my situation and didn’t just turn me away feeling helpless.

Their compassion fund helped with a huge portion of her overall medical needs and we couldn’t have been more thankful. She was seen and had surgery the same day and now we’re home recovering. I cannot thank this place enough. A literal LIFE SAVER!!! ♥♥♥

"What a great experience! We were floored with our first visit. A refreshingly modern and pup-first approach to pet care. Dr Jake was a dog whisperer in getting our sometimes (okay always) ornery Bernedoodle to relax for a shot...The digital scheduling and billing makes logistics a cinch- will be recommending Sploot to all of our pup Scout’s friends!"

My pup Theo had a great experience at Sploot!  Dr. Alexa and Dr. Jake were super nice and put Theo at ease right away (he doesn't love vets).  Their convenient hours made it incredibly easy for me to go after work - and plus, the beautifully designed clinic made going to the vet a totally different experience for me and Theo!  He really enjoyed choosing from the treat / toy / sunglasses bar and walked away a happy pup.

Sploot Vet is truly a place like no other!!! You walk in and instantly feel welcomed and know your very special fur baby is in the best place with the best care. Every one of the staff members are extremely friendly and welcoming. Our little fur baby even got to walk a way with her tail wagging...Highly recommend taking your pet here!

Alli

I took my 5 year old bullmastiff, Kit, to Sploot...Kit has a tendency to be a bit shy at the vet but Dr. Alexa went above and beyond to win Kit's love with lots of treats and incredible kindness. The atmosphere in Sploot is unlike any clinic I have visited before. The entire hospital is immaculate and the staff are super friendly. I will be returning to Sploot for all my veterinary needs!
