Disrupting, Combating, and Alleviating Economic Euthanasia
We are dedicated to empowering pet and companion animal guardians with the knowledge and resources needed to enhance and extend the lives of their treasured canine and feline companions.
Treasured Pets is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization established exclusively to disrupt, combat, and alleviate Economic Euthanasia (EE).
What makes us different?
Our approach to the problem. Current animal charities provide programs and services such as shelter to stray pets, rescue pets from abuse, care for the sick and wounded, place pets into forever homes, and some try to help with the Economic Euthanasia problem. Although these services are undoubtedly valuable, no organization focuses 100% of its efforts and resources on combating Economic Euthanasia. Moreover, existing animal welfare organizations that have an EE program use an 'either-or' strategy, employing tactics for potential solutions involving one resource or another. Until now, no organization in the U.S. has approached the problem by utilizing all of these options.
Treasured Pets employs a comprehensive approach involving all potential solutions and possible stakeholders. Economic Euthanasia is a continually growing issue and both animal guardians and their canine and feline loved ones need an organization to focus 100% of its activities, energy, and resources on disrupting and alleviating the problem—sooner rather than later.
SERVICES OVERVIEW
Education for Pet Guardianship
To be responsible pet parents and companion animal guardians, and to help mitigate Economic Euthanasia, each must have a basic understanding and knowledge of four key areas of optimal animal health: 1) Preventive Care, 2) Spaying & Neutering, 3) Pet Insurance, and 4) Animal Health. This program provides all the tools and knowledge that pet parents and companion animal guardians need to help their canine and feline family members live long healthy lives.
Financial Aid for Veterinary Care
Sudden expenses often leave pet guardians—particularly those in low and fixed-income households—questioning how to afford veterinary care when there are limited resources and no pet insurance to cover costs. And cancer treatment or critical care for chronic conditions requiring ongoing treatments add up quickly. Without assistance to pay for vet services, guardians may sadly face Economic Euthanasia when their treasured pet could have a second chance at life.
Resources for Spaying & Neutering
Spaying and neutering are essential in mitigating overpopulation and the health of our companion animals. Spaying and neutering play a critical role in the relief of Economic Euthanasia. The average lifespan of spayed and neutered cats and dogs is demonstrably longer than those not. Pet parents and animal companion guardians can acquire all the resources needed to spay or neuter their dogs and cats at the lowest possible cost or sometimes free.
Subsidies for Pet Insurance
According to a 2020 peer-reviewed study, "Euthanasia of companion animals and pets in veterinary emergency medicine is a common cause of death." Veterinary care, however, leads to the survival of about 80–90% of dogs and cats; but, treatment is costly. Pet insurance alleviates unforeseen veterinary costs and greatly decreases the risk of Economic Euthanasia. This program works with qualified applicants to ensure they receive the ideal insurance policy for their treasured pets.
