At Pets for Patriots our mission is not just about companion pet adoption for military veterans, but surrender prevention by making lifetime pet guardianship more affordable. Everything we do – from post-adoption follow up to curating discounts from major pet brands – is with this goal in mind.

Recently we announced our new partnership with VIP Petcare, the nation’s leading provider of affordable, convenient preventative veterinary care. This partnership will deliver big savings for our veterans seeking quality healthcare for their adopted pets.

As our partner, VIP Petcare supports our mission to reduce the overall costs associated with pet guardianship, and are extending a 10% discount for veterans who adopt dogs and cats through our program.

VIP Petcare provides services through a network of more than 2,500 community clinics in 31 states, each conveniently located in pet stores, feed stores and other host locations in the communities they serve.

While not a replacement for our excellent network of full-service, general and specialty veterinary partners, VIP Petcare clinics offer routine services such as vaccinations, prescription parasite prevention, microchipping with free national registration, and other preventative care. And because VIP Petcare clinics are located throughout the country, veterans who adopt companion pets through our program can use their services both at home and on the road.

Affordable preventative care helps to minimize or avoid altogether more costly medical needs that pets may incur as they age. Much of how we put donor dollars to work is more visible – dogs and cats adopted, veterans’ pets supported through our veterinary fund – but we think some of the work we do behind the scenes, like working with VIP Petcare, is equally vital.
