Question 2

Does the BC SPCA provide financial assistance for veterinary care?

Accepted Answer

We empathize with your situation; unfortunately, it isn't uncommon. Many animal guardians face difficult decisions when pets require serious medical care. If you are seeking assistance to spay or neuter your animal, learn about low income spay/neuter programs in B.C. The BC SPCA Animal Hospital offers an assistance program for kitten cat with cast on looking up

low income people. If you qualify for financial aid, it will cover up to 33% of the cost of services provided at the clinic (not including exams, lab work, medication, vaccines or diets). Please note, however, that the BC SPCA does NOT provide financial aid to have procedures done at other vet clinics. For more information, please email spcahosp@spca.bc.ca. If you are not in Vancouver, you can contact your local BC SPCA to see if they are aware of any initiatives in your area that assist low-income pet guardians with medical expenses. For immediate short-term help, you can apply for financing through programs such as Petcard. Our recommendation for a long-term/preventative solution is to look into insurance coverage. With pet health insurance, you'll be able to remove the stress and worry of unexpected medical costs and provide your pet with the best medical care possible, at a low monthly premium. We sincerely hope you are able to get the assistance you need.
