Options for telephone or email consultations
With Gail Pope
Gail is pleased to offer consuItations regarding our philosophy, diet, healthcare and lifestyle, hospice care and transition, etc.
**Important to note: I/we are not qualified veterinarians and can only offer our opinion and thoughts based upon our 25 years of experience taking care of our animal family and from the miracles of healing we have observed.
Scale of Fees
We are many times requested to offer free opinions and give consultations to those who have often spent all their money at a vet hospital only to discover they have no more options and finances are running low. Much as we would love to help everyone, we have to make mention that BrightHaven is a non-profit and also fighting hard to survive in these extremely challenging economic times. General operating costs are substantial in our varied work of rescue and sanctuary, not to mention education too, and so we have no alternative but to charge a fee. We do wish to be of service to many though, and so offer the following options:
Free:
You may request a free 15 minute discussion with Gail’s assistant to evaluate how we may be best of service.
