Tips for finding affordable care for you family pet:
Here are a few hints:
- We have helped several families in the past couple of years, and have seen invoices for similar procedures from several veterinarian offices. The cost difference between one office to another is surprising to us. For example, we called around and asked the price for a simple ID chipping procedures and got estimates from $150 at an offices that told us we really needed to put the dog to sleep because the procedure was painful to $15 at a chip clinic with the median price of around $50. The difference can be dramatic!
Here are a few hints:
- Call a few vets in your area and ask about the price of some routine procedures: chipping, neutering or spaying, dental procedures as examples. This may help you pick a vet.
- Before there's an emergency ask your vet what their policy if there is ever a medical emergency. Knowing what to expect from your vet's office may help you decide which vet to use when there's not an emergency.
- When there is an emergency, explain your financial situation and ask if the vet will consider giving a discount and or extend credit. If the office will extend credit, be sure to ask the interest rate they will charge.
- Ask if there are rescues or other non-profits that might help. You never know who might be quietly working to help folks just like you when you're in need!
- Use social media to raise funds before, during, or after the emergency. Pennies add up to dollars and dollars can help you pay for an emergency procedure.
