Birch Bark offers two levels of PetAid grants to pet families, depending on whether your pet has a medical issue that has yet to be assessed by a veterinarian or your pet has an existing diagnosis and you need help to provide life-saving treatment. In cooperation with our Partner Vets, BirchBark provides financial assistance (either a flat amount for initial diagnostics or a percentage of the overall bill, up to 50%, for treatment).
