Where to find help with vet bills for my senior dog's health issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund (Miniature Smooth Haired) | Female | spayed | 9 years and 2 months old | 25 lbs

I am a 62 year old disabled woman on SSI and I have a 9 year old spayed dachshund. She has not been to a vet since 2012 and she had allergic reaction to shots so there was a shot that was given prior to vaccinations. Suede has had a flea problem and she has bald patches and she also has lumps on her belly and will not let me cut her nails..I love my dog and I did not realize the cost associated with pet ownership. This is why I do not get anymore pets and I wanted to find out if there was any

I'm sorry but it looks like your question got cut off. I'm not sure if I will be actually answering you correctly. If not, please post again with more information and photos of your pet's skin if you would like some product recommendations. Petco offers low cost vaccination, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, nail clipping, etc. through their weekend VETCO clinics inside their stores. It doesn't appear that there are any close to you though - the closest one is about 40 miles away. If you are willing to drive this may be your least expensive option. They do not charge an exam fee. Tractor Supply also has a similar program. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=66095 ) ( https://petvet.vippetcare.com/find-a-clinic/ ) I found this housecall vet in your area. You can certainly contact them to check their pricing: ( http://vetsonwheels.website/mobile-vet-services-in-williamsburg-ks-we-come-to-you-in-kansas.html ) This is a link with resources for people that need help with vet bills. Scroll down as there are some Kansas specific organizations. ( https://www.dogingtonpost.com/need-help-with-vet-bills-or-pet-food-there-are-resources-available/ ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
