Stop! Don’t Choose Economic Euthanasia — Let FareVet Help You Out

Every year, thousands of beloved pets are put down not because they can't be saved, but because their families can't afford the cost of care.

This devastating decision has a name: economic euthanasia, and it's far more common than most people realize.

But here’s the truth: it doesn’t have to end this way. Before making the hardest call of your life, know you have options. And FareVet is here to help you find them.


What Is Economic Euthanasia?


Economic euthanasia happens when a pet is euthanized solely due to the owner’s inability to afford treatment, even though the condition is treatable. It’s not a decision made out of neglect or cruelty, it’s a heartbreaking choice made out of financial desperation.


From emergency surgeries to chronic illness care, the costs can quickly climb into the thousands, and without upfront pricing, pet parents are often blindsided.

But being blindsided doesn’t mean being powerless.


FareVet: A Lifeline When the Costs Feel Impossible


FareVet is a free platform that helps pet parents find lower-cost vet care, understand their bills, and explore affordable alternatives.

We believe no one should lose a pet because of unclear prices or a lack of information. Whether you're facing a critical situation or planning ahead, FareVet can:

  • Show you real prices for treatment options near you

  • Help you compare clinics that offer the same procedure for less

  • Break down your vet bill so you understand exactly what you’re paying for

  • Point you toward payment plans, discounts, and local aid organizations


It’s not just a price comparison tool — it’s a second chance.


Real People. Real Savings. Real Lives Saved.


One FareVet user was quoted $5,000 for an emergency surgery. Using the platform, they found a qualified clinic that performed it for $1,900, and their dog fully recovered.


Another user was prepared to say goodbye after being told there were “no other options.” FareVet helped them discover a nonprofit clinic just 45 minutes away that offered a solution within their budget.


These aren’t rare stories. They’re everyday realities — when the right information is finally accessible.


You Are Not Alone


If you're feeling overwhelmed, ashamed, or out of options, stop. Breathe. You are not alone. Economic euthanasia is a tragedy, but it’s often preventable. What families need most in these moments isn’t just compassion — they need clarity, support, and tools that work.


FareVet exists for that very reason.
