A Critical Care Program for Pets
Vital Paws is a dedicated critical care program provided by Koda’s Gift of Pawsitivity. Unlike routine wellness or spay and neuter services, this initiative focuses strictly on providing urgent financial assistance for emergency veterinary care. We believe no pet should be separated from their family due to unexpected medical crises. By steping in with vital support when it’s needed most, we ensure pets receive the immediate, life-saving attention they deserve—while staying in the loving homes where they belong.

How Funding Works…
At Vital Paws, we ensure that financial assistance is used responsibly and effectively to help pets in need. Here’s how our funding process works:
Vet-Direct Payments
Funds go directly to veterinary offices for approved medical treatments—never to individuals.
Transparent & Secure
To prevent misuse, we only issue payments to licensed veterinary clinics for necessary care.
Needs-Based Assistance
Each request is reviewed based on urgency, financial need, and available funds to help as many pets as possible.
How You Can Help…
Every act of kindness keeps pets where they belong—at home.
