The Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals offers low-cost microchipping clinics in New York City, where your pet can receive this simple, potentially lifesaving service for only $25.
Affordable Pet Services
When finances are tight, it's easy to become overwhelmed and think that the only thing you can do is to surrender your pets to a shelter. Fortunately, New York City has several programs in place to help struggling pet owners continue to provide their furry family members with veterinary care, food, and other necessities.
If you need financial assistance to help pay for veterinary care for your companion animals, there are programs available that can make routine care or emergency treatment more affordable.
