32 Resources For Pets With Cancer

Was your dog or cat recently diagnosed with cancer? Use this list of resources for pets with cancer to help assist with the financial burden.

When Bill was diagnosed with cancer, I felt like my world was caving in. Our dogs bring immeasurable joy and love to our lives, so when faced with the distressing news of a cancer diagnosis or other serious illness in our furry family members, the emotional burden can be compounded by the financial challenges that arise during treatment and care. I know that once we made the decision to pursue chemotherapy, one of my first questions was: How much will this cost?

Even the most devoted pet parents can be overwhelmed by the financial strain. But one thing that I’ve learned is that there are so many resources available to pursue.

32 Resources For Pets With Cancer

In an effort to help other pet parents trying to navigate this confusing time, I’ve put together a list of organizations who are willing and able to help families during financial strain. Most of these organizations accept applications on a rolling basis and all have prerequisites, so be sure to read their individual parameters closely. Every little bit helps when you’re faced with thousands of dollars in medical bills.
