Hi,
I've noticed there are a lot of sick little babies on the board lately, some of which have skinparents who cannot afford their healthcare. While this is a very sad situation, and I DO feel for the skinparents, I feel more for the furkid that doesn't deserve to have no vetcare due to poor financial preparation.
That being said...I just wanted to say that there are TONS of vets nationwide who accept account credits, and income tax returns are coming up.
You can't just go in there and withdraw and deposit as you wish...lol..they're not banks!
But you can (at most veterinarian offices) go in with cash, and have them place it as a credit on your account!
I HAD NO IDEA! We're going to save some time and effort by taking the petpurses we have for ours..and applying them to our account at the vet's instead.
Our account credit (at our vet)...stipulates that it can be withdrawn in the event of a pet passing away, being rehomed, or if you choose another vet (and will no longer be taking your pets there).
This is a GREAT idea for just about anyone whether you are well off or not. What happens if for some reason your bank is closed out of normal hours? What happens if the ATM is out of money or is broken, etc....in an emergency wouldn't it be nice to know that the money for your pet is already with your vet?
LOTS of people already knew about this, but I sure didn't! So I thought i would let you know.
What a GREAT thing to do with part of your tax return (if you're getting one).
