Donor Perks

Every 5th donation, your pet hero will receive:

A $100 Visa gift card – You can use this for personal needs or toward your pet’s wellness care. Don’t forget your vaccine costs and preventatives! The card expires one year after activation.
A $50 credit on your IndyVet account that can be used for
- Specialty or Emergency services at IndyVet for any pet in your household.
- A ProHeart (6 month heartworm prevention) injection for your donor – 40% off!
- The annual bloodwork requirement in order to remain in good standing with your signed donor agreement.
If you do not have the $50 credit on your account at the time of your pet’s annual bloodwork requirement, you can now pay $50 to have it run through IndyVet during your pet’s visit for donation, which is a deeply discounted price given to the blood bank for this blood panel.
