Ideas To Get Help Paying Vet Bills
We've taken out some loans but the problem is that my boyfriend and I are both students and are only working part-time to pay for other bills (car, our medical bills, school, etc.). If we don't get help, we'll be behind on other bills. We've searched for organizations that can help but most are for future treatments. Does anyone know of any organizations or perhaps even individuals who can help us? We love our puppy and have tried to do what's best for her.

RE: Ideas To Get Help Paying Vet Bills
I just got a puppy 3 weeks ago and two days ago I found out he had parvo I have three children. My children and I have already grown so attached to him and we are very scared to see what the next few days holds But I was wondering if any one has found any programs that could help with vet bills like this! If any one has any info please let me know. This a pic of him three day before he started showing signs of parvo

RE: Ideas To Get Help Paying Vet Bills
I know people probably post a bunch of these types of posts but I am running out of luck trying to find places that donate money to people with exspensive vet bills. Me and my boyfriend have a 1 1/2 year old Husky mix that has recently had to have surgery. He had luxating patellas and the surgery cost us around $4,200 to get both knees done. We are now having trouble trying to pay off the bill since we keep having to add expenses to it. It has been a little more than a month now since the surgery and he has had an infection and is going to physical therapy weekly to try to get back to normal. If anyone knows what organizations would be likely to help please let me know. I know that as a pet owner one should be able to afford a pet however these are some extreme circumstances that have added up to about $5,000 in one month and it will add up more with the continued physical therapy that is needed. Again please offer any advice that you may have. Thanks!

Here is an idea you might want to try. Try volunteering your time at the vets office to trade for hours for payment. I had a couple of local bills and suggested that I could volunteer as a trade to pay off my bills. Some disagreed, but several companies loved the idea. I set a plan based on the going hourly rate and signed a contract to work a certain amount of hours until the bill is paid off or at least lowered.

This is part of being a responsible pet owner-being able to pay for unexpected expenses. Most puppies don't survive parvo, so in that respect you are lucky. There is veterinary pet insurance available for future issues, you vet probably has fliers about it in the clinic.

You are not at a stage in life for having pets, you should be free and not tied down, but then again puppies are irresistible. The vet will help you find a home for her, and the vet's staff is probably attached to her by now. Pay the bill however you can, but let your pet-owning days come when you are sitting on a pile of cash and life is stable.

Please do what is best for the dog and find an owner that has money saved for these types of things.
