Empowering the Heart of Veterinary Care

Because Every Pet Deserves a Chance

About the Care Beyond Limits Fund

The Care Beyond Limits Fund helps pets within the Lakefield Veterinary Group family of hospitals receive essential veterinary care when financial hardship would otherwise make treatment impossible. By providing financial assistance for qualifying cases, the fund helps bridge the gap between medical need and financial limitations, giving more pets the opportunity to receive the care they deserve.

Our Mission

We stand beside veterinary professionals as partners in care, compassion, and community. Our mission is to support your “why” in every way possible, making the path to fulfilling your calling both accessible and impactful. Together, we create lasting connections between pets and people through exceptional medicine and unwavering support.

Meet the Fund Recipients

Cases are submitted by Lakefield hospitals and reviewed through an internal committee of licensed veterinarians. Funding is prioritized for pets with a favorable prognosis and a strong likelihood of returning to a good quality of life following treatment. See how the fund is helping animals and supporting the people who love them.
