Friendship Hospital for Animals in Northwest DC is waiving emergency exam fees for any non-routine sick visit.

18/02/2025

🌟A heartfelt THANK YOU to our community, for your overwhelming encouragement and outpouring of support!🌟

Yesterday, we announced we would be waiving ER and sick visit exam fees, along with extended payment plan options for government employees and contractors affected by workforce downsizing – and you all showed up!

🙏 We’ve received countless messages and comments asking how you can help support fellow pet parents faced with unexpected unemployment – who may also find themselves with an unexpected pet emergency.

DONATIONS, via our Brudder Sullivan Fund:
💙To donate to those affected, we encourage you to do so through our Brudder Sulllivan Fund: https://ow.ly/ciBs50V2pLc

Please designate “Federal Employee Fund” in section 3 (the name the donation should be made in) so that we can earmark the funds specifically for this cause.

ABOUT THE BRUDDER SULLIVAN FUND:
The Brudder Sullivan Fund is a 501 (c) (3) intended to cover a set portion of the bill to help offset the cost to owners. 100% of every dollar contributed goes directly to a client in need of financial assistance.

-📢To our federal government employee/contractor community, we understand more than most that accidents and emergencies have a way of happening at the worst possible time.

For federal government employees/contractors who have lost their jobs during the downsizing of the federal government workforce, starting tomorrow we are waiving our emergency exam fee, non-routine primary care exam fee (sick visits), and offering extended payment options on all services.

Friendship Hospital is here to help care for your pets during these challenging times. 🐾🤍

🌟Update - due to the outpouring of kindness asking how you can help support fellow pet parents faced with unexpected employment, we are now accepting donations to help cover costs beyond our waived fees and payment plans. To donate to those affected, we encourage you to do so through our Brudder Sulllivan Fund: https://bit.ly/3EFB0eC (or use the link in our bio). Please designate “Federal Employee Fund” in section 3 (the name the donation should be made in) so that we can earmark the funds specifically for this cause.🌟
