How to Get Help with Vet Bills: Fund Fido’s Solution for Pet Surgery Crowdfunding 

Back to Blog Page

When your beloved pet is sick or injured, the last thing you should have to worry about is how to pay for their care. Unfortunately, many pet owners face this dilemma when their pet needs surgery or emergency treatment. While options like Care Credit and Scratchpay are often considered solutions, many pet owners find themselves unexpectedly denied. This can leave you scrambling for alternatives. That’s where Fund Fido steps in, providing a secure and reliable way to crowdfund for pet surgery and other medical expenses when you need it most.  

How Fund Fido Helps with Vet Bills 

At Fund Fido, we understand how overwhelming it can be to deal with the financial strain of veterinary bills. Whether it's for a routine surgery, emergency care, or long-term treatment, the cost of medical care for pets can add up quickly. According to the AVMA's 2024 Pet Ownership and Demographic Survey, while pet populations continue to rise, the average spending on veterinary care has decreased. This suggests that many pet owners are cutting back on non-emergency visits and delaying routine care due to financial pressures. This shift in spending habits highlights a growing need for alternative solutions, like Fund Fido, that help owners raise the necessary funds for their pets' treatment when they can’t rely on traditional financing options like Care Credit or Scratchpay. 

Through Fund Fido, you can create a fundraising campaign for your pet, share their story with your community, and receive donations directly from friends, family, and even strangers who want to help. It’s a reliable, vet-approved solution that ensures the funds raised go directly to your pet’s treatment. 

Why Fund Fido Works for Pet Surgery Crowdfunding 

One of the main concerns donors face when using crowdfunding platforms like GoFundMe for pets is ensuring their donations go directly to the pet’s treatment. Fund Fido addresses this concern by requiring veterinary approval for every campaign. This ensures that your pet’s medical needs are legitimate and that donations are used exclusively for their care. 

Here’s how it works: 

  1. Visit Your Vet: First, take your pet to the vet for diagnosis and treatment recommendations. 
  1. Create a Campaign: You and your vet will work together to create a campaign that tells your pet’s story and sets a funding goal. 
  1. Fundraising Begins: Share the campaign with friends, family, and social media to gather donations. 
  1. Vet-Approved Donations: Funds go directly to the veterinary clinic within 48 hours, ensuring your pet gets the care they need as quickly as possible. 

This streamlined process ensures your pet receives the care they need without delays or confusion. Plus, it gives donors the peace of mind that their contribution is going to a verified, approved cause.  

Pet Surgery Crowdfunding Made Simple 

Crowdfunding for pet surgery can be difficult, especially when you're unsure where to turn for help. Traditional crowdfunding platforms may not be tailored to the unique needs of pets, and navigating through the process can be overwhelming. Fund Fido simplifies this process by providing a platform dedicated exclusively to pets in need of medical care. It’s a secure and easy way to raise the funds necessary for your pet’s treatment without the stress of figuring out how to make it happen on your own.

What to Do If You’ve Been Denied by Care Credit or Scratchpay 

Many pet owners turn to Care Credit or Scratchpay to help pay for their pet’s medical expenses, only to find that they don’t qualify. Being denied financial help can feel discouraging, but it doesn’t mean you have to give up on your pet’s care. Fund Fido provides an alternative solution for pet owners in this situation. 

If you’ve applied for Care Credit or Scratchpay and have been denied, Fund Fido is here to help. Simply visit your vet and ask them to create a campaign for your pet. Once the campaign is approved, you can begin sharing it with your network and raising money for your pet’s medical expenses.
