At Emancipet, we believe that every pet deserves access to affordable, high-quality veterinary care. We want to share the story of Buddy, a stray dog who found his forever family and, thanks to your generosity, received the life-saving treatment he needed.

Earlier this year, Buddy showed up on his family’s property as a stray. After an unsuccessful search for his owners, the family fell in love with him and decided to adopt him. During a routine checkup, however, they learned that Buddy was heartworm positive. Faced with a high treatment cost, the family knew they needed another option. That’s when a neighbor recommended Emancipet.

Even though Emancipet was nearly an hour away, the family scheduled an appointment for Buddy’s evaluation and heartworm treatment. They were relieved to find that the cost of treatment was nearly half of what they were originally quoted. The family appreciated how Emancipet’s team took the time to explain every step of Buddy’s care. They received updates via text message, detailed visit summaries by email, and thorough instructions on how to care for Buddy at home after each appointment.

Despite the challenging nature of heartworm treatment, Buddy’s journey has been smooth, with no adverse reactions—thanks to the expert care and ongoing follow-up visits provided by Emancipet.

Buddy’s story is a powerful example of how your support helps make veterinary care accessible to families who otherwise couldn’t afford it. Because of you, Buddy is now heartworm-free and living a happy, healthy life with his family.

But there are still many more pets like Buddy, and pet families like Buddy’s, who need your help. Your donation today can provide life-saving care to pets whose families are struggling to afford it. Together, we can ensure that no pet goes without the care they deserve.

Please consider supporting Emancipet and helping more families and pets like Buddy. Every dollar counts in our mission to make veterinary care affordable for all. Thank you for your generosity!
