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 Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health.

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety.

The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution.
