Veteran benefits
Adoptions for life
Pets for Patriots supports adoptions for life by reducing the barriers for veterans adopting pets and lowering the costs to care for them.
So how do we do it? Through broad-based benefits that make pet adoption more affordable for our nation’s heroes.
Access to quality, discounted veterinary care: brick-and-mortar veterinary practices,* 24/7 veterinary telehealth and telemedicine, and walk-in wellness clinics. Curated savings on pet goods and services, including pet medication. Personal follow up with every single adopter for at least one year. And dedicated programs for veterans in crisis so they are not faced with surrendering their adopted pets.
