Financial Aid for Pets and Pet Owners – You Are Not Alone

57% of pet owners were concerned about their financial security, and 45% were worried about their ability to afford veterinary care (Frontiers in Veterinary Science, Nov 2021). 

There are several financial aid options for your pet in need of care, so don’t be discouraged. 

What are Pet Necessities?

Proper pet care means providing your pet with the necessities to keep it healthy, happy, and feel loved. Here are some of the primary pet necessities:

Spay and Neuter

Spaying or neutering minimizes the chances of testicular cancer for males, and breast cancer, uterine infections, or pyometra for females. At the same time, you are also helping curb the country’s stray animal population.

Food

You should provide the right food and the right amount every time to avoid causing health problems to your pet. Feed them with fresh foods and not leftovers.

Veterinary Care

Like humans, pets require doctor visits and healthy routines. Therefore, it would be best if you took them to your trusted veterinarian for grooming, health check-ups, and vaccinations every six months or at least once a year.  

Basic Products

If you plan to bring home a new pet, you must have all the essential pet supplies you need from day one:

• Food – Buy the same food brand fed to your new pet before you adopted them, or buy quality food that suits your pet’s life stage.
• Water and Food Bowls – Two ceramic or stainless steel bowls will do very well.
• Leash and Collar – There are many varieties of leash and collar. Buy the one which works best with your pet. Having an extra leash ready is a good idea too.
• Pet First Aid Kit – This kit must include a digital thermometer, bandages, adhesive tape, antiseptic wipes, sterile gauze pads, cotton balls and pads, antibiotic ointment, hydrogen peroxide, and tweezers.
• Pet Grooming Kit – This kit must include a grooming brush, a toothbrush, a nail trimmer, pet shampoo and conditioner, cologne, flea powder, and others.
• Poop Disposal – A poop scooper for dogs or a litter box for cats is ideal for collecting and disposing of waste, plus poop bags to clean up after your dog on walks.

Financial Assistance Programs for Pet Necessities

Work with veterinarians

• Negotiate an installment payment plan with your veterinarian to make it easier for you to afford your pet needs.
• Get a second opinion before diving into the expensive treatment. Explore less costly ways to treat your pet.
• Use vets in smaller towns as it is less expensive than those in commercialized areas.
• Check local veterinary schools with low-cost clinics that cater to low-income clients.

Fundraising and temporary credit

• Care Credit. This card helps you pay and manage your family’s and pet’s health and wellness not covered by insurance.
• GoFundMe. This is a crowdfunding fundraising platform where you can raise funds in a few minutes.
• Waggle (pet-dedicated crowdfunding solution). This is similar to GoFundMe but is dedicated to raising funds for pet needs, specifically those in medical crises.

Applying for Pet Financial Aid

The first step in applying is knowing if you are eligible for pet financial aid. The requirements vary by organization, but these are the basic ones.

• Know precisely what your pet needs. List everything from pet food to specific medical care unique to your pet’s condition.
• Gather documentation. Most financial aids are only for low-income, homeless, elderly pet owners. You will need documents to prove that you are one. 
• Explore all other options. Most charity organizations rely on donors and may also have limited funds and supplies. Think of other ways to provide for your pet’s needs.
• Be persistent. If one organization cannot help you, try another in your area. Consult your local shelter.
