The veterinary practice will be the patient’s portal to Lexie’s Love.

The veterinary practice will be the patient’s portal to Lexie’s Love.  At this time, clients must be referred to Lexie’s Love through their veterinarian as you will be able to assess the medical necessity of the treatments as well as the commitment of the owner to their pet. If after this discussion, the pet owner feels he or she may be able to handle the extra costs associated with the treatment plan with a little additional help, we invite you to initiate the online application for a grant for your client. 

While Lexie’s Love is a small organization, we are able to make a big difference in the lives of pets and their owners. With your help, we can do more.  You know your clients and you know their pets. If you wish to provide them with a funding opportunity, please contact Lexie’s Love via the Veterinarian Referral at this link.

After we review the Referral, we will determine whether or not this is a case we can sponsor. If it is, we will provide your client with a password so that they can fill out a confidential, online application. Please be aware that there may be some instances where your office staff will need to help clients fill out the online form. Once approved, your client will be eligible for a grant of up to $500 to be used specifically for the treatment cited on your Referral. Funds will be paid directly to your practice after we have received a copy of the invoice for services provided. Please be aware that we cannot pre-pay grant funds—funds are dispersed after services are performed, usually within 24 hours of receipt of the invoice.

Please do not refer any of the following types of pets: Farm animals (chickens, goats, pigs, cows), Horses, Exotic Animals (peacocks, hedgehogs, primates, exotic cats, etc), shelter and/or rescue animals, animals used in the course of a breeding business, or animals you suspect to be used in any illegal manner. Please do not refer clients who you have only seen once unless you can establish clearly that the owners are willing and fully capable of providing a loving and safe home for their pet. Additionally, we are unable to provide funds for euthanasia.

We also ask that you have an established relationship with your client. This way we can be assured of the care that the pet is getting in their home environment. If, in those cases that these are first time clients, we ask that you obtain their previous vet’s contact information so that we can make proper inquiries.

Additionally, we generally ask that the pet has been within the family setting for more than 9 months. We feel that this is provides time to establish a solid bond as well as their ability to maintain a happy and healthy home environment for their companion animal.
