There are times when dogs need medical care or things that owners just can’t afford. There are also times when owners get down on their luck and can’t afford basic food for their pets. It happens. If this happens to you, don’t just avoid the medical treatment for your pup. If money is tight, talk to your local shelters and veterinarian about your situation. They may be able to assist with providing food or medical care at a low price. Search online and talk with the humane society to see if there are grants available in your area. Some organizations donate grants to help owners that have adopted or taken on senior dogs or dogs with special needs. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Taking care of your dog and asking for help is a brave move. Talk to your animal hospital Hyattsville, MD for other options.
