For far too long we the people of Washington state have been forced by sky-high vet bills to choose between the life of our beloved pets and being able to afford our basic needs. Recently we have made many changes in the healthcare and rights afforded to humans but our pets have been sadly left behind in this development and as costs for medicines & treatments increase more & more we stand on the brink of a regression in the standard of care for our animals. I need your support today to put an end to the heartbreak of having to put down a fellow member of the family because of something so simple yet so elusive as ability to pay for a medical procedure.
