Places to help pet owners with bills

This forum is for dog lovers seeking everyday advice and suggestions on health-related issues. Remember, however, that advice on a public forum simply can't be a substitute for proper medical attention. Only your vet can say assuredly what is best for your dog.

Lean not mean- barking machine

	My mom's friend found out her schnauzer has kidney stones. Their vet said that the pup needs surgery to remove them, and mom's friend is crushed cause she doesn't have that kind of money and the vet doesn't do payment plans. So my mom said she'd ask about places to help owners with vet bills. What places like that are there? Mom knows about http://www.imom.org/, but that's it so far. Thanks everypup.

	Some time ago I could not afford meds for my pup. A local vet gave the meds to me at cost (really cheap!). If you call around (or even better, write) to veterinarians in your area, explaining your situation and offering to pay something (no matter how small), you may find a sympathetic vet (some do pro bono work). You can also try bartering--vets always need people to clean, especially if they have a large practice with boarding

	What about taking the dog to another vet that does accept payment plans? Or, what about taking out some Care Credit? carecredit.com Best of luck to your friend's dog..
