HELP COVERING VET COSTS

HELP WITH COVERING EXPENSES

Depending on your pup's injury, and if you have pet insurance or not, you may have expenses that you need help with.  There are tons of organizations that can help with medical and rehab costs, as well as companies that can help you raise money through Crowd Funding, and a lot of people also do their own fundraising events.  Also, keep in mind that a lot of people are able to get a lot of equipment donated by people with huge hearts, or groups of their friends. 

 We have seen some extremely successful campaigns.  Some of our members have had wheel chairs donated, physical therapy donated, surgery costs donated, and neurology consults donated. 

DON'T EVER BE AFRAID OR EMBARRASSED TO ASK FOR HELP!
ESPECIALLY FROM YOUR FRIENDS!!

Organizations That Can Help with Your Medical Expenses

All too often we hear from people who don't realize there is help out there. You just have to do a little (ok a lot) of research!  There are plenty of organizations and people with huge hearts, and vets, and hospitals that will help, you just have to be persistent, and do your research.  Many will have you complete an application of some kind. Unfortunate there are a lot of people out there who are not so honest.  So be patient with the processes they put in place and keep trying if some groups can't help!  Also do your own research, there are 1000's of organizations NOT on this list all around the world.   And don't forget about crowd sourcing!
