Bronx Veterinary Center understands that pet care costs can be challenging, especially when faced with an unforeseen or critical health issue. While BVC cannot offer free veterinary care to those in need (though we wish we could!), many resources and options are available.

Bronx Veterinary Center: Community Support
The Princess Bubblegum Foundation
The Princess Bubblegum Foundation is a partnership between the Veterinary Care Foundation and Bronx Veterinary Center created to honor Princess Bubblegum, whose owners were facing the possibility of humane euthanasia due to the costs of treating her severe health conditions. Through community support and a brave, unwavering spirit, Princess Bubblegum recovered and thrived. This fund is entirely donation-backed and dedicated to offering funding opportunities for discounted and no-charge cases when all other options have failed.
