Post-Surgical Care for Your Pet
Need a copy of your pet's medical records?
Please Note: Treatments listed are correct, but “medical notes” before 7/14/2022 are inaccurate due to a software change.
If you are unable to locate your pet’s medical records using the method above, or if you need complete medical records prior to 7/14/2022, please fill out the Alternate Medical Records Request form below as accurately as possible to get your records to you in a timely manner. We will only send records to owners. For accuracy, hospitals must ask pet owners to place the requests.
Please Note: It can take approximately one week for records to be emailed to you.

Due to the generosity of community funders, Santa Barbara Humane offers a medical assistance program to provide support to those who cannot afford care. Low-income-qualified families currently utilizing a need-based assistance program such as MediCal, Medicaid, WIC, CalWORKS, BIA general assistance, CalFresh, SSI, SSD, Section 8 housing, or major VA disability can receive assistance. Other requirements:
- Assistance is intended for one visit per pet.
- Additional assistance/visits must be approved on a case-by-case basis by the Chief Veterinary Officer or Director of Veterinary Services.
- Because the organization is donor-funded, pet owners are encouraged to pay whatever portion of services they can afford.
- Unfortunately, we cannot support any medical conditions that require hospitalization through this fund at this time.
- If Santa Barbara Humane is unable to provide care due to limitations or restricted conditions, staff will offer recommendations for veterinary care/services. If suffering is present and humane euthanasia is recommended, we can provide assistance.
When your pet needs quality veterinary care, Santa Barbara Humane can help.
Affordable services are a critical part of our continued commitment to the animals and people who love them on the Central Coast. Funding from community members in support of affordable and sometimes free care is vital to serving those who need it most.
When you contribute, you are part of the mission too.
Any money the organization collects as part of your pet’s care provides an opportunity to help more. When you choose either of Santa Barbara Humane’s campuses in Santa Maria or Santa Barbara to spay or neuter your pet, to provide his/her vaccinations, or another service, you are supporting the transport program to bring in animals for adoption from overcrowded shelters. You are supporting the medical care homeless animals may need upon arrival and you are helping fellow community members who may need financial support to have the same service for their pets.
Limited preventative medications are also offered for sale in the clinics. These include flea and heartworm medications.
