Important Updates for 2026
As we enter the new year, we’ll have updates to our enrollment process, clinic procedures, and pricing. Due to rising costs, some service fees will see modest increases, but our initial appointment charge will stay the same. We're working hard to keep prices low while balancing the fact that our cost of goods and other commodities are going up. We remain committed to providing affordable, high-quality care to families with limited means and will offer additional subsidies as indicated. Thank you for trusting us with your pets!

How To Get Help
Pets In Need is dedicated to helping no-, low-, and limited-income pet owners experience the love and benefits of having a pet.
We primarily serve individuals and families living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, including seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and those experiencing homelessness.
Most clients qualify through programs like Medicaid or Medicare, or are referred by trusted partner organizations. Pet owners self-identify their eligibility, and we only collect income documentation when required for grants or additional assistance.
What We Do
Our mission is to provide affordable, high-quality veterinary care to allow individuals and families of limited means to enjoy the benefits of healthy and responsible pet ownership.
PIN provides low-cost veterinary care for individuals with income at or below the federal poverty level and those that have limited income like the elderly, veterans, those that are homeless, or have a disability.
Our Lockland clinic is the only full-time resource of its kind in Greater Cincinnati, serving over 4,000 pets each year.
Meet Tammy and Her Trio of Joy
For Tammy, her three dogs - Daisy, Bear, and Bella - are her world. Retired and living on a fixed income, she works hard to make sure they have happy, healthy lives, but the cost of veterinary care can be overwhelming.
Through Pets In Need, all three dogs receive regular wellness exams, vaccines, and preventive care without putting a financial strain on their owner. “Vet care is so expensive,” she says. “I have my own medical bills, but I can’t let my dogs suffer. Pets In Need makes it possible for me to take care of them.” From medical care to donated blankets and toys, our program gives families peace of mind and keeps pets healthy, happy, and together
