Additional Benefits for Partner Members in the USA

To be eligible for Partner Member benefits, you must be a person with a disability:

• Working with a trained adult guide, hearing or service dog from a Provider; or
• Working with a guide, hearing or service dog, owner-trained to perform tasks mitigating the Partner’s disability. Training must be at least six months (120 hours) of schooling on obedience, manners and tasks in accordance with IAADP Minimum Training Standards for Public Access prior to enrollment.

For those working with more than one assistance dog, IAADP’s agreement with corporate sponsors makes Partner members eligible for benefits for only one dog annually. Some benefits have a link to a secondary webpage which will give you important information about how to obtain that IAADP benefit and provide information for your veterinarian as well.

• Cosequin/Dasuquin, Welactin and Denosyl now available in the USA to IAADP Members, directly from Nutramax Laboratories Veterinary Services, Inc. To receive any of these Nutramax products your vet must contact Nutramax and request the product(s) needed for your canine. Your vet will need a copy of your IAADP membership card to verify your IAADP membership. The product(s) requested will then be sent directly to your home address.

• PetAssure discount. This is a discount program, NOT insurance. IAADP members will receive a 25% discount off medical services at participating veterinarians, as well as other benefits for your assistance dog and other pets in the home. Your cost is $59.00 per year, which is a huge discount over their normal family plan fee.

• 50% discount on Rabies Titer Test processed by the Kansas State Veterinary Laboratory. Please email Jill at jill@iaadp.org for more information.
• 20% Discount on The Raspberry Field products
• Free enrollment in AKC Reunite Program
• 50% discount on the purchase of Muttluks dog boots (shipping not included)
• A grant of financial aid may be available in the USA when a member’s veterinarian applies on behalf of a client for an assistance dog requiring veterinary care for a major veterinary problem beyond the partner’s ability to pay, if the case meets the criteria listed. See guidelines on IAADP’s Veterinary Care Partnership (VCP) Program for details.

Some benefits are also available in Canada. Partner members in other countries are encouraged to contact companies in their geographic region to establish partnerships similar to those in the USA and Canada. The goal is to decrease the financial burden assumed by those seeking partnership with guide, hearing and service dogs.
