Packs Achieve Wellness Grant

What Is The PAW Grant?

The Packs Achieve Wellness (PAW) Grant is a 501c3, established in January 2020 and managed by the SLVS team, that provides specialized grants to qualifying pets in unique circumstances where their owners face significant financial hardship.

We offer payment plans through programs like Scratch Pay and Care Credit. We also accept all major credit and debit cards (except American Express as of 1/1/2025), and we can take donations from family or friends to help cover the cost of achieving wellness for pets. However, sometimes this assistance is still not enough, and pet parents may need additional help. Our dedicated team, frustrated by these situations beyond their control, wanted to do more. They aspired to create a different kind of veterinary specialty and emergency hospital. This is how the PAW (Packs Achieve Wellness) Grant was born, fueled by our team’s strong desire to make a difference.  

We cannot do this alone. The PAW Grant relies on donations from our PAWtners, pet parents like you, who join us in our mission to achieve wellness for pets whenever possible.

PAW Grant Criteria

  1. The pet has a fair or better prognosis with medical intervention as determined by the veterinarian in charge of the pet’s medical care
  2. The pet parents are unable to pay for a portion of medical treatment
  3. The pet parents were denied by Scratch Pay payment plans or extension of Scratch Pay funds denied
