Are You Thinking About Economic Euthanasia? Let Waggle Save Your Pet

Last year must have been a long heartbreaking bummer but, you shouldn't allow your cat or dog to belong to over half a million pets that are either euthanized or given up by their families because they can’t afford veterinary care.

Whether you need assistance with an upcoming vet bill or you simply want to help someone in need, Waggle is a new crowdfunding platform that makes it possible.

What is Waggle Crowdfunding?

Waggle is a revolutionary crowdfunding model that work side by side with pet owners to create and run successful fundraisers capable of saving their pet's life when they can't afford their pet's medical procedure.

How Does Waggle Work?

Waggle reviews and verifies every appeal for help and gets cost estimates from the treating veterinarian. Every dollar raised goes directly to the veterinarian, and updates are provided so you can see how your dollars helped a pet in need.
There are also ways to get donations matched to make your dollar go further, and all donations are tax-deductible.

Steven Mornelli, the founder and CEO of Waggle, hopes people will continue to spread the word that there is help for people who are struggling financially and need to get their pet to the vet.
“The word has spread so quickly, and we’re finding people are raising money in need, in times of need, across the board for lots of different reasons,” Mornelli said. “That’s actually how we’re helping to solve the problem of economic euthanasia at such a large scale.”

Steps You Can Take To Save Your Pet's Life

There would be times when some pets need medical treatment that their owners can't afford. Instead of remaining powerless or succumbing to economic euthanasia, Waggle can save the life of such pet.

If you're the pet owner in such a situation, please take the following steps:

Create an account on waggle.org and start a campaign. You will be asked a few questions about your pet, and Waggle experts and professional writers will go to work writing a thoughtful and compelling story.
Once your pet’s story is finished, Waggle will create a template that you can drop into your social media accounts. Sharing is as easy as the click of a button. Waggle also give you advice and guidance on how to effectively share your pet’s page and story.
Waggle engages with your hospital. They let your pet’s health care team know that their patient is on Waggle, and work collaboratively with them. Waggle certify a treatment estimate that is stated on your pet’s Waggle page.

The Best Fish Feed in Nigeria for Catfish: Why Quality Matters

A few months ago, I visited a fish farm run by an ambitious aquapreneur who had high hopes for his homemade fish feed. His pond was large, his vision clear: this feed would cut costs, boost growth, and drive profitability. But within a week, disaster struck. Fish floated belly-up. Growth stalled. The numbers didn’t add up. The problem wasn’t the fish. It was the feed. The catfish were growing exactly as they were fed: poorly. Just as fish can’t flourish on empty calories, a farm can’t succeed on subpar feed. The right nutrition makes the difference between a thriving business and a sinking investment. In Nigeria’s competitive catfish farming industry, choosing the best feed isn’t just about cost, it’s about protein content, digestibility, floatability, and growth performance. The wrong feed leads to stunted growth, higher mortality, and lost profits. The right one maximizes yield, health, and market value. In this article, we’ll explore:...

How Much Does It Really Cost to Start a Catfish Farm in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt in 2025?

After the Nigerian government hinted at a possible ban on fish importation , my inbox began to fill with a familiar question from would-be fish farmers in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt: “Can I start a catfish farm now and do it for less?” It’s a timely concern. With import restrictions looming and demand for locally raised fish climbing, 2025 could be a turning point for Nigeria’s aquaculture industry. But while the opportunity is real, the path to profitability depends on where you set up, how lean your operations are, and whether you can balance cost-cutting with quality production. A Market on the Edge of Change Nigeria needs an estimated 3.2 million metric tonnes of fish annually. Yet local production meets barely 30% of that demand. The rest comes from imports mainly mackerel, sardines, and tilapia; worth over ₦500 billion annually. A potential import ban would create an immediate supply gap, and catfish is perfectly positioned to fill it. Already a staple in Nigerian homes and...
