Applications are open from April through December each year.

The application form opens on the first Monday in April at 9 AM and closes on the third Thursday in December at 5 PM.

You may apply during that time using the application link on this page.

We review applications in groups. Applying earlier does not guarantee that you will be approved first.

To apply, complete the online application during the application cycle.

You will need:

• A valid email address
• One accepted document
• Basic information about you and your pet

After you submit your application, you will receive an email confirming that we received it.

Accepted documents include:

• Medicaid card
• EBT card
• SSI benefits letter
• WIC card

Other documents are not accepted.

The document must show your name or the name of someone in your household.

The last day to submit an accepted eligibility document is December 31. This deadline cannot be extended.

After you apply, One Health Organization will review your application.

This may take several weeks.

You will receive ALL updates by email. 

There is no need to call the office for an application update. 

All updates about your application are sent by email.

Please use an email address you can check often.

Also check your spam or junk folder so you do not miss important messages from One Health Organization.

If your application is approved but no Voucher Card ID is available, you do not need to take any action.

Voucher Card IDs are assigned as money becomes available. We cannot tell you when a card may become available.

If a Voucher Card ID becomes available for you, you will receive an email with your Voucher Card ID and instructions for how to use it.

We do not use a public waiting list.

If your application is approved but funding is not available, we will keep your approved application in our system for that program year.

If a Voucher Card ID becomes available for you, we will email you.

We cannot tell you where you are in line or when a Voucher Card ID may become available.

If you receive a Voucher Card ID, you are responsible for making your own veterinary appointment. One Health Organization does not schedule appointments for pet parents.

Before scheduling, contact a participating veterinary clinic and ask: “Do you accept One Health Organization Veterinary Care Voucher Cards?”

FIND A VET

When you go to the clinic, bring:

• Your Voucher Card ID
• A copy or screenshot of your Voucher Card email
• Another way to pay, such as cash, credit card, or debit card

Your Voucher Card may not cover the full cost of your pet’s care.

Use our Northeast Ohio Veterinary Clinics Directory to look for clinics marked “Accepts Vouchers.”

Please contact the clinic before scheduling to confirm that they accept One Health Organization Veterinary Care Voucher Cards.

This program is not for emergency veterinary care.

Emergency veterinary clinics usually require payment in full at the time of service.

If your pet needs care right away, please call veterinary clinics directly and review other pet care and financial help resources.

 If your pet needs care right away, or if your needs are not met by the Voucher Card program, please review other Northeast Ohio pet resources.
