Overview

Mission

The charitable mission of Remedy Pet Care ("Remedy") is to make high-quality, compassionate veterinary care accessible and affordable for all pets by providing care at cost. Remedy exists to keep pets in their homes by removing financial and logistical barriers to veterinary care, ensuring that pet owners are not forced to choose between their pet's health and their financial stability. By providing primary veterinary care, pharmacy and prescription products, and essential surgical services, Remedy supports the health and well-being of companion animals while helping keep pets and families together. Remedy operates as a community-supported organization focused on service rather than profit and is committed to improving animal welfare and strengthening the human-animal bond within the communities it serves.

What it reported doing in 2024

Low-Cost Primary Veterinary Care & Preventative Services: Provide affordable primary veterinary care to companion animals, ensuring access to essential preventive and wellness services for pets whose families face financial or logistical barriers to traditional veterinary care. This includes wellness exams, vaccinations, laboratory testing, diagnostic evaluations, and ongoing parasite prevention. In the year ended September 2025, there were 18,910 active clients and 22,692 active pets.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
