Emancipet offering FREE vet care for Houston pets in the wake of Hurricane Harvey
A collaboration with The Humane Society Of The United States and The Lewyt Trust, with support from Maddie’s Fund, will help keep pets and their people together.
“We know how much pets mean to their families, and our goal is to help people keep their pets, and keep them healthy, during this difficult time,” says Emancipet CEO Amy Mills. “Many families impacted by Harvey were already struggling financially, and may believe they have no choice but to give up their pets or forego treatment because they
can’t afford vet care. These generous funders are helping us make sure that doesn’t happen.”
During the next three months, fees for veterinary services at Emancipet Houston will be waived for pet owners.. This includes the services Emancipet has always provided like exams, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping, and heartworm treatment. During this time of extraordinary need, Emancipet’s veterinarians will also treat some illnesses like
respiratory, skin, and ear infections, and some injuries like wounds and lacerations, and can perform some medically necessary surgical procedures.
This makes me very happy
