What to do if you can’t afford a vet?
If you need emergency veterinary care and can’t afford to pay for it, search for a charity grant program that fits your medical and financial situation. You can also apply for a loan/credit provider like CareCredit or Scratch pay. Lastly, there’s always crowdfunding. If it’s not an emergency and you just want to be prepared to afford future vet bills, compare top-rated pet insurance options and enroll in the coverage that’s best for your breed.
How do I get financial assistance for my service dog?
There are many organizations that offer financial assistance for service dogs, such as: America’s VetDogs, Brigadoon Service Dogs, Patriot PAWS, K9s For Warriors, NEADS, and Retrieving Freedom, Inc.
