Meet Prince, a spirited Husky with a heart full of love and a story that’s sure to inspire. Prince’s journey with Emancipet began in April 2023 when he was diagnosed with heartworms, a condition that, if left untreated, can be fatal. Thanks to the compassionate care provided by Emancipet and the unwavering support of his devoted owner, Annette, Prince is now heartworm negative and healthier than ever.
A Rough Start
When Annette discovered that her family member had heartworms, she was heartbroken. The cost of treatment, which many clinics required upfront, was almost $700—an amount that was simply out of reach for her. “Emancipet is a life saver,” Annette recalls. “When I found out my new baby had heartworms I was in tears. I didn’t have the money to treat him and everywhere I turned they wanted all the money up front. Then, my amazing boss told me about Emancipet. I called them and spoke with a counselor who worked with me and allowed me to make payments.”
A Lifeline in a Time of Need
Annette’s journey with Emancipet began with a phone call that changed everything. The compassionate Resource Center agent at Emancipet understood her situation and worked with her to create a manageable payment plan for Prince’s treatment. This flexibility allowed Annette to start Prince’s treatment immediately without the financial burden she had feared.
The Road to Recovery
Prince’s treatment began in April 2023, and over the next several months, he showed remarkable resilience. With each visit to Emancipet, Annette saw improvement in Prince’s health and spirit. The dedicated team at our Houston Wayside Clinic provided expert care and continuous support, ensuring that Prince received the best possible treatment.
A Happy, Healthy Ending
By December 2023, the joyful day arrived when Prince was officially declared heartworm negative. This victory was a testament to the life-saving work of Emancipet veterinarians and technicians and the dedication of loving pet owners like Annette. Prince’s journey from heartworm positive to heartworm free is a powerful reminder of the impact that compassionate, affordable veterinary care can have on the lives of pets and their families.
