Care Knows No Boundaries Grants

Our Care Knows No Boundaries (CKNB) grants enable veterinarians and certified veterinary technicians to remove the barriers that keep pets from receiving much-needed care.

Any veterinarian or certified veterinary technician within any Mars business segment in the United States is eligible to apply for funding to assist with travel expenses in the form of a CKNB grant. This grant enables global volunteer work that supports Mars Petcare’s purpose of A Better World for Pets.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ongoing uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have suspended the Care Knows No Boundaries program until further notice.

HOPE Funds

HOPE Funds program offers financial assistance for income-qualified pet owners whose pet is suffering from an immediately life- threatening condition. You do not need to be an existing Banfield Pet Hospital to apply for HOPE Funds, but treatment will need to be done at a Banfield Pet Hospital. Due to the high demand for assistance, not everyone who applies for HOPE Funds will be approved, and the entire cost of your pet’s treatment will not be covered. All applications submitted must be reviewed for both medical and financial eligibility.

Please contact your local Banfield Pet Hospital for more information and eligibility. Visit Banfield.com, opens in new tab for locations near you.
