Non-Profit Veterinary Care
for Every Pet Parent

A non-profit veterinary service operates under a tax-exempt structure (most commonly 501(c)(3) in the US), which means it has no shareholders and any surplus is reinvested into the mission instead of distributed as profit. The practical impact for pet parents: prices reflect cost-of-service, not a margin target, and the organization is required to publicly disclose its finances.

Yes. RexVet is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Donations are tax-deductible, our financials are publicly available, and surplus revenue funds expanded access to care — including subsidized visits for low-income families and partnerships with shelters and rescues.

They overlap but aren't identical. Low-cost clinics (often run by humane societies or municipal animal welfare departments) may not be 501(c)(3) themselves but partner with non-profits to subsidize spay/neuter, vaccinations, and basic care. A non-profit vet service like RexVet is a 501(c)(3) directly providing care — in our case, telehealth — that any pet parent can access at the same low price regardless of income.

RexVet single visits are $64.99 — roughly half the cost of a typical in-person vet visit in our service states. The Family Plan is $120/year and includes 4 visits plus unlimited messaging, covering every pet in your household. There are no surprise fees, no platform markup, and no upcharge for nights, weekends, or holidays.

Beyond non-profit telehealth, common resources include: (1) local humane society and SPCA low-cost clinics for vaccines and spay/neuter, (2) veterinary teaching hospitals at vet schools which often offer reduced fees, (3) condition-specific aid programs (cancer, mobility issues) like Frankie's Friends and the Magic Bullet Fund, (4) Care Credit and Scratchpay for veterinary financing, and (5) breed-specific rescue networks that often have vet partnerships. Use these alongside RexVet when in-person care is required.

Yes — non-profit status doesn't affect a veterinarian's licensure. RexVet veterinarians are licensed in Florida, New York, and Virginia, and can prescribe medications during a video visit when a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship is established. Prescriptions are filled through RexVetRx and shipped to your door.

Three quick checks: (1) verify 501(c)(3) status on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search or on Candid (formerly GuideStar) — RexVet is rated Top Rated Non-Profit 2025, (2) review the organization's published Form 990 for transparency on spending, and (3) look for board governance and editorial separation from any for-profit affiliates. If those three check out, you're dealing with a real non-profit.

Yes. RexVet partners with shelters and rescues to provide subsidized vet care for adopters — including a free first visit for newly adopted pets and a credit per adopter back to the partner organization. Shelters and rescues can apply through our partner program to enroll.
