No matter how well you prepare, life happens. Things don't always go according to plan. When the unexpected happens and you are faced with a large veterinary bill we don't believe you should have to say good bye to your furry family member through euthanasia or by surrendering them to someone else. Every year countless animals are euthanized or surrendered to rescue organizations because their owner can't afford the cost of veterinary care. The average cost of an emergency vet visit is $800-$1500.1 And if your dog or cat needs surgery, that can end up adding thousands of dollars to your vet bill. Our goal is to relieve the strain on shelters and rescue organizations that get calls to take in pets in need of medical care by assisting owners with expenses and keeping pets in their home. This allows shelters and rescues to focus on other needs and it helps the pets recover by being around the family it knows and loves and in the environment it is most comfortable.
