We are seeing an alarming number of pets (dogs specifically), across the state suffering from parvo. I wanted to take a moment to explain why treatment can be so expensive, in hopes of providing some clarity and understanding. ![]()
![]()
Parvovirus (parvo) is a highly contagious and often deadly virus that requires immediate, intensive, and specialized care. While the cost of treating parvo may seem high, it reflects the extensive resources and effort needed to save a puppy’s life.![]()
Treating parvo requires:![]()
Quarantine: Clinics must isolate infected puppies in a sterile environment to prevent transmission to other animals. This involves dedicated spaces and strict cleaning protocols.![]()
Rigorous Sanitation: Caregivers must thoroughly disinfect themselves, their tools, and the treatment areas after each interaction with the sick puppy to stop the virus from spreading.![]()
Continuous Monitoring and Care: Parvo patients often require round-the-clock supervision, frequent fluid administration, anti-nausea medications, antibiotics, and other supportive treatments to manage symptoms and prevent complications.![]()
Emergency clinics are often more expensive than neighborhood vet clinics because they are staffed 24/7 to provide this level of care. While neighborhood vets may be less costly, they may not have the resources to provide the intensive, continuous care required for parvo patients.![]()
![]()
If you break down the care needed—quarantine, medications, constant supervision, and sanitation—it becomes clear that the cost is reflective of the critical and labor-intensive nature of treatment. These costs are fair and necessary.![]()
![]()
**It’s also important to emphasize the value of prevention. Initial vaccinations are essential and cost far less than treating parvo. Before bringing home a new furry family member, it’s crucial to plan for the cost of care, including potential emergencies!! While emergencies can be financially challenging, proper preparation and vaccinations can save both lives and money.![]()
![]()
Parvo treatment is expensive, but it is a reflection of the life-saving efforts required—and it underscores the importance of preventative care.![]()
![]()
There is no doubt that vet care is very expensive and specifically for this post, it is VERY expensive and time consuming to treat parvo but, I have said it before, it is NOT some vet trying to “get rich quick”, sadly it is the economy we live in. ![]()
![]()
***Vaccinate your pets and de-sex them at the appropriate age!!!***
We are assisting Bruno and Blue, Buddy, and Candy tonight. They all caught parvo which can be devastating. We are praying they make it through treatment ok. They are at Tier One if anyone wants to make an additional direct donation.

‼️‼️Urgent Help Needed‼️‼️![]()

I’m reaching out on behalf of the Roscoe Fund to share an urgent situation. One of our clients is facing significant challenges. On top of her housing difficulties, her beloved 8-year-old German Shepherd, “Boy,” is in critical condition.![]()
![]()
Boy consumed rib bones, which have become lodged in his colon, causing a dangerous blockage that could be fatal if not treated immediately. He is currently at Pet Emergency Treatment ER, but she needs $600 or more (depending on if something else arises) to proceed with his life-saving treatment.![]()
![]()
If you’re able to help, donations can be made directly to Pet Emergency Treatment ER by calling 907-274-5636. Please provide the client’s name, Rayannan Perez, and her dog’s name, Boy, when making your contribution.![]()

The holidays are upon us so we wanted to share a PSA on being careful what treats you should allow your pet to have and why You Should Never Give Your Dog Cooked Bones.![]()
![]()
As loving pet owners, we often want to treat our dogs to something special, or feel we need to add additional nutrients to their diet. Sharing table scraps, like a leftover bone, might seem like a natural way to show affection. However, feeding your dog cooked bones can pose serious risks to their health. Here’s why it’s best to avoid this seemingly harmless gesture.![]()
![]()
1. Cooked Bones Can Splinter![]()
Unlike raw bones, cooked bones are brittle and prone to breaking into sharp pieces. These fragments can cause serious injuries, including:![]()
![]()
Mouth and throat injuries: Splinters can cut your dog’s gums, tongue, or throat, leading to bleeding and pain.![]()
Choking hazards: Sharp pieces may lodge in the throat, blocking the airway.![]()
Intestinal damage: If swallowed, splinters can puncture the stomach or intestines, causing internal bleeding and life-threatening infections.![]()
2. Risk of Blockages![]()
Cooked bones are more likely to break down into small fragments that can clump together in your dog’s digestive tract, leading to a blockage. Symptoms of a blockage include vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, and constipation. Blockages often require emergency surgery to remove.![]()
![]()
3. Dental Damage![]()
Even if a cooked bone doesn’t splinter, it can still be too hard for your dog’s teeth. Biting down on a cooked bone may cause painful fractures, leading to expensive dental procedures and prolonged discomfort for your dog.![]()
![]()
4. Risk of Bacterial Contamination![]()
Cooked bones that have been sitting out may harbor bacteria, such as salmonella, especially if they come from improperly handled meat. Consuming these contaminated bones can lead to food poisoning in your pet, with symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and fever.![]()
![]()
5. Nutritional Misconceptions![]()
Some people believe bones are a good source of calcium and nutrients, but cooked bones offer little to no nutritional benefit to dogs. There are far safer and healthier ways to meet your dog’s dietary needs, such as high-quality dog food and supplements recommended by veterinarians.![]()
![]()
Safe Alternatives to Cooked Bones![]()
If you want to give your dog something to chew on, consider these safer options:![]()
![]()
Raw bones (under supervision and with your vet’s approval): Raw bones are less likely to splinter and can help clean teeth.![]()
Veterinary-approved chew toys: Durable rubber or nylon chews provide a safe and satisfying chewing experience.![]()
Specially designed dental treats: These treats are formulated to improve oral health and keep your dog entertained.![]()
![]()
While giving your dog a cooked bone might seem like a loving treat, the risks far outweigh the benefits. To keep your furry friend safe and healthy, opt for safer alternatives and always consult your veterinarian if you’re unsure about what’s safe for your dog to chew.![]()
![]()
By understanding the dangers of cooked bones, we can all make informed decisions that prioritize the health and well-being of our beloved pets.
Why You Should Avoid Feeding Your Dog Table Scraps![]()
![]()
As dog owners, we love to spoil our furry companions and show them how much we care. When your pet looks up at you with those big, pleading eyes during mealtime, it can be hard to resist slipping them a bite of your food. However, feeding your dog table scraps can do more harm than good. While it might seem like a harmless treat, this habit can lead to serious health and behavioral issues for your pet.![]()
![]()
1. Nutritional Imbalance![]()
Dogs have specific dietary needs that are different from humans. Table scraps often lack the right balance of protein, vitamins, and minerals required to maintain a dog’s health. Feeding your dog human food can disrupt their diet, leading to deficiencies or weight gain. Even small amounts of high-calorie foods can result in obesity over time, which increases the risk of heart disease, joint problems, and diabetes.![]()
![]()
2. Toxic Foods![]()
Many common human foods are toxic to dogs, including:![]()
![]()
*Chocolate![]()
*Onions and garlic![]()
*Grapes and raisins![]()
*Xylitol (a sweetener found in sugar-free gum and candy)![]()
as well as many more toxic, less common foods.![]()
![]()
Even small amounts of these foods can cause serious health issues such as  pancreatitis, kidney failure, low blood sugar, or even death. When feeding table scraps, it’s easy to accidentally include a harmful ingredient.![]()
![]()
3. Digestive Upset![]()
Dogs have sensitive stomachs, and introducing unfamiliar foods can lead to digestive problems like vomiting, diarrhea, and gas. Foods that are rich, fatty, or heavily seasoned—such as fried or buttery items—are especially problematic. In some cases, consuming fatty scraps can cause pancreatitis, a painful and potentially life-threatening condition.![]()
![]()
4. Increased Risk of Choking and Blockages![]()
Bones, gristle, and other tough scraps can pose choking hazards or lead to blockages in your dog’s digestive tract. Even seemingly harmless items like corn cobs or cooked meat bones can splinter or become lodged in the stomach or intestines, requiring emergency veterinary care.![]()
![]()
5. Encourages Begging and Poor Behavior![]()
Feeding your dog table scraps teaches them to associate mealtime with begging. This can lead to persistent begging behavior, jumping on tables, stealing food, and even aggression when food is present. These habits can be frustrating for owners and disruptive during meals.![]()
![]()
6. Allergies and Food Sensitivities![]()
Some dogs have food allergies or sensitivities that can be aggravated by certain human foods. Symptoms can range from skin irritation to gastrointestinal upset. Identifying the cause of these reactions becomes more difficult when table scraps are part of the diet, as they often contain a mix of ingredients. Too much of certain food may even lead to serious medical conditions such as pancreatitis.![]()
![]()
Safer Ways to Treat Your Dog![]()
If you want to give your dog a special treat, there are plenty of healthier and safer options:![]()
![]()
Dog-friendly fruits and vegetables: Carrots, apples (without seeds), and green beans are low-calorie and safe options.![]()
Commercially prepared dog treats: Choose vet-approved treats designed to meet your dog’s nutritional needs.![]()
Homemade treats: You can make simple dog-safe snacks at home using recipes tailored for canine consumption.![]()
![]()
While it’s tempting to share a bite of your meal with your dog, the risks to their health and behavior outweigh the benefits. Feeding table scraps can lead to nutritional imbalances, digestive issues, and dangerous exposure to toxic foods. By sticking to a well-balanced diet designed specifically for dogs, you can ensure your furry friend stays happy, healthy, and well-behaved for years to come.![]()
![]()
Love your dog with proper nutrition and safe treats—they’ll thank you with wagging tails and a lifetime of companionship!

Meet Chaos, a beloved 12-year-old Dalmatian who is truly the center of his family’s world. Recently, Chaos needed treatment for abscessed teeth that could have jeopardized his health if left untreated. Thanks to the Roscoe Fund, we were able to assist his family in getting him the care he needed to stay happy and healthy.![]()
![]()
Stories like Chaos’s are why we do what we do. Every day, we receive many requests for help from families facing tough financial times, and we strive to ensure pets don’t have to suffer due to circumstances beyond their owners’ control.![]()

If you’re able, we’d greatly appreciate your support. A tax-deductible donation to the Roscoe Fund helps us continue to assist pets in need, just like Chaos. Together, we can make a difference for so many furry family members! Thank you for your generosity.
We had to say goodbye to our mascot, Otter, this evening. He was rescued by Good Samaritans and The Roscoe Fund over 18 years ago. He made many appearances when we had fund raisers over the years. He was quite the character and will be missed.😢💕💕💕💕💕💕
Diesel had a horrible cut on his foot this week. It took owners a few days to get funds together. We helped them out. Happy to say he is home, doing well, but a little drowsy. Please donate so we can help the next person. We also encourage paying it forward back onto the fund if we have assisted you!
It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of King Arlo's passing. For nearly six wonderful years, he was a beloved member of his family, filling their lives with love, joy, and laughter. Unfortunately, King Arlo suffered a severe spinal injury, and despite the family's best efforts to ease his pain, it became clear that he no longer had the quality of life he deserved.![]()
![]()
After much heartache and reflection, his family made the incredibly difficult decision to help him cross over the Rainbow Bridge. They did so out of love and with the hope that he would no longer suffer. King Arlo's family loved him beyond measure and will forever cherish the memories they shared together.![]()
![]()
In his final days, The Roscoe Fund was able to offer a financial donation to help ease the family's burden, contributing to the immense veterinary expenses associated with his care. Their support provided a small relief during this incredibly difficult time.![]()
![]()
Rest in peace, King Arlo, You will always be remembered, and your paw prints will forever remain in their hearts. 🌈🐾![]()
![]()
If you would like to make a donation in Arlo's memory, it would be greatly appreciated to be able to help us assist others with urgent veterinary treatment when the owner are unable to cover complete costs.
Bender got into garbage and ate something that was causing a blockage. Owner was worried he would need thousands for surgery. The emergency clinic treated Bender and was able to get rid of the blockage so he won’t need surgery. We are pleased to have assisted Bender! Stay out of the garbage Bender!!!! 😊

This is Roscoe, who the fund was named after. Owner Paul Hendrickson was so grateful for Pet Emergency helping Roscoe at his end of life, that he gave us a donation to use for something to help other animals in Roscoe’s name. It was a good sized donation in 1999. Paul Hendrickson, Dr. Dr. Seeba, and myself ( Laura Kelly), brainstormed and came up with the idea of creating a fund to help animals in need. Here we are, 25 years later, still helping companion animals from rats to dogs. We have you to thank for the donations that have kept us helping pets. 💕💕💕💕💕💕
The Roscoe Fund is assisting Clide with a cat fight wound. We hope you feel better buddy!💕💕💕
The Roscoe Fund has been quite busy assisting families the last few weeks and we are thankful to be able to help so many, but unfortunately our funds are getting low and we need your help!!!![]()

At the Roscoe Fund, we believe that every pet deserves access to emergency veterinary care, regardless of their owner's financial situation. Unfortunately, many families facing financial hardship are forced to make heart-wrenching decisions when their beloved pets fall ill or are injured.![]()
![]()
That's where the Roscoe Fund steps in. As a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping those in need, we assist with financial aid to cover emergency veterinary expenses for pets whose owners cannot afford the necessary care. Whether it's a life-saving surgery, critical treatment, or essential medications, we try to help offset funds to ensure that pets receive the care they desperately need to recover and thrive.![]()

Matilda has been a constant companion to her owner and her family during blessed times as well as a tremendous emotional support to her owner in times of sickness and struggle. ![]()

After her visit with Wasilla Veterinary Clinic, her family learned that the prognosis was not great. We are saddened by the news; cancer diagnosis’s are heartbreaking. We wish Matilda’s family comfort in these sorrowful times. ![]()
