Low-Cost Veterinary Care

Expanding Support Through Additional Resources

Seattle Veterinary Outreach understands that many of our clients face urgent and complex medical needs for their pets. While our outreach clinics are designed to provide triage care, including lab work and initial veterinary assessments, there are limitations to the services we can currently offer, such as X-rays or emergency procedures, due to equipment, space, and staffing constraints.

At times, we are able to assist further by leveraging additional resources from the Mozart and Casper Legacy Fund, helping current clients address more serious issues beyond what our clinics can provide. For other needs, we encourage clients to apply for financial assistance programs and utilize lower-cost veterinary clinics listed in our resources.
