The Southern Pines Healthy Pet Clinic believes everyone should have access to veterinary care and aims to bridge the gap between high-quality service and affordability. They are an excellent resource for many of the routine procedures and medications most pets need, but sometimes pets require more specialized, intensive, or emergency veterinary care that other clinics in the Pinebelt Area may provide. The list below is not a comprehensive list of all local Pinebelt veterinary clinics, hospitals, and boarding facilities, but it is a good place to start if you are looking for a veterinary care provider for your family.

Financial Assistance for Veterinary Care
Many veterinary clinics accept one or both of the following financing options, but we always recommend checking with the specific clinic you are using before signing up for one of the plans. These options may be used for routine or emergency veterinary care.
There are also grant opportunities that may help to offset the costs of emergency veterinary care:
There are also grant opportunities that may help to offset the costs of emergency veterinary care:
- HOPE Funds program offers financial assistance for income-qualified pet owners whose pet is suffering from an immediately life-threatening condition. You do not need to be an existing Banfield Pet Hospital® client to apply for HOPE Funds, but treatment and the application process will need to be done at a Banfield Pet Hospital. The closest Banfield Pet Hospital is in Gulfport, MS. Due to the high demand for assistance, not everyone who applies for HOPE Funds will be approved, and the entire cost of your pet’s treatment will not be covered. All applications submitted must be reviewed for both medical and financial eligibility.
- RedRover Urgent Care Grant program provides financial assistance, resources, and emotional support for pet guardians struggling with economic hardship when pets are in life-threatening situations. The average grant is around $250, and is intended to fill a small gap in funding that is keeping an animal from care.
- Waggle is a nonprofit crowdfunding platform that helps pets guardians raise funds for essential veterinary treatment.
