How should I use GoFundMyPet at my hospital?

There are two main ways to use GoFundMyPet at your hospital:

1. Use it for planned or higher-cost cases. GoFundMyPet is a great fit for procedures that aren’t always immediate—like fracture repairs, extended hospitalizations, or dental work. That said, we’ve also seen it work well in true emergencies when owners are highly motivated and have a strong support network, sometimes raising thousands of dollars within hours.

2. Use it as a standard step when Angel Fund support is provided. Some hospitals require any client receiving Angel Fund assistance to create a GoFundMyPet. This helps ensure the pet gets support right away while also giving the community a way to contribute back—helping replenish the Angel Fund for future patients. You may not recover every dollar used for that specific case, but it can significantly extend the life and impact of your Angel Fund over time.

Beyond patient care, GoFundMyPet can also support projects, missions, or goals. We often see funds created in memory of a beloved pet, or to support local events your hospital is sponsoring.
