- Who qualifies
- Open to the public. Pets must be healthy, 2 to 100 lb and 2 months to 7 years old (SNAP: 3 months to 7 years). SNAP requires proof such as a Forward (Medicaid) card, Quest (food assistance) card, Wisconsin Works, unemployment or Social Security letter, or household income at or below 150% of the poverty line.
- Notes
- Surgery Monday to Friday by appointment only, booked online up to 3 months ahead; slots fill fast and new ones open daily. Cats drop off 8 a.m. and go home 4:45 p.m.; dogs drop off 8:30 a.m. and go home 3:45 p.m. A $39 boarding fee applies if you miss pickup. TNR appointments by phone only. SNAP is also offered at the WHS Green Bay, Kenosha and Racine campuses.
Before you go to a low-cost clinic
- Book early. Many nonprofit clinics open appointments in batches and fill up fast. Some take walk-ins only until they hit capacity.
- Expect a deposit. Many clinics charge a small booking deposit that's credited to your bill but lost if you no-show.
- Check eligibility. Some programs are limited to certain ZIP codes, service areas or household incomes. Others are open to everyone.
- Bring records. Past vaccine records can save you a repeat shot, and many surgery clinics require proof of rabies vaccination.
- Ask for an estimate. Get the full price, including bloodwork, medications and add-ons, before treatment starts.
Most low-cost clinics can't handle emergencies. If your pet is having trouble breathing, collapses, has a seizure, is bleeding heavily or may have eaten something toxic, go to the nearest emergency vet now.
