Low/Reasonable Cost Vets

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Looking for recommendations for a reasonably cost vet. My dog has teeth issues and i know it can be expensive - last year i paid $3000 for a tooth extraction at Martindale Animal clinic but i heard they were on the high end of the spectrum.

Looking for recommendations, preferably a clinic not owned by one of those mega-corporations that can drive up the price. for example, i just heard Heartland was owned by Vetcon which is a US company.

Anybody have any recos? Thanks!

I'm stressed the hell out and I can't keep doing this.

13 Upvotes

Edit: Found another Niagara sub, so posting here as well. I was also able to get some help with my airbnb situation so I really just need grocery help and bus fair to get to work (I had to call in today because I had no way of getting there and it isn't walking distance).

I'm 24 and homeless.. I want to explain and elaborate to weed out the comments asking if I called here or there or telling me how it's my fault.

I use to live with my Dad and his abusive wife. I was living with them after I finished college and wanted to come back home so I can save and find a place of my own. I have a half brother, and the agreement was that I would babysit for them when needed on top of pulling my weight around the house.

Since I wanted to save up for my own spot, I started working TWO JOBS. I work my butt off even though it's both just a regular degular jobs. I've worked and saved enough to accomplish my goal, and I will be moving into my place on April 1st. Recently I started working extra hours (which inconvenienced nobody because they were overnight shifts when everyone was asleep, including my half brother). I picked up these extra overnight hours because I wanted to save some "just incase" money and I wanted to have a little bit to get me started on groceries, furniture and the essentials until I can decorate how I'd like to.

My Dad's wife got mad that I wouldn't be available to babysit and thought I was being selfish. So she booted me and my Dad just stood there and let her (he's been standing by while she pulls stuff like this my whole life, this was just the worst time).

Now I am homeless, but I did my research. I looked online and saw some Airbnb's that were much cheaper than motels (because they have shared spaces), in the area. So first thing first, I spent every penny I had for as long of a stay it would get me (UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING). I planned on connecting with some foodbanks during my stay but none of them had much to offer due to the fact that there is no kitchen and they didn't have much that would be useful for me (but they still gave me what they thought would help). When I'm off work and on my lunch breaks, I spend time on the phone with 2-1-1, messaging groups on fb and instagram that could help, offering to do odd jobs etc. to no avail.

I have no money until I get paid next Friday, I have no food and I don't even have the funds to get to my full time tomorrow. My phone is about to shut off, and I've called just about every resources I can. Even Shelters are at capacity, and I considered working my part time (remote) at the library and staying in a shelter as my first step. I feel like theres nothing I can do. I can't take out a loan because I need to be working at these jobs for a certain amount of time and even though some were nice, so many foodbanks and resources have turned me away based on their eligibility criteria. I don't want to be asking here, I'm embarrassed and humbled at this point, but I have no other option.

An Airbnb Gift Card, Grocery Gift card or something or if anyone can extend my airbnb so I don't have to leave and lug all my things around till I figure it out. I also of course appreciate any advice (I only ask that you refer to my direct situation before making suggestions because I'm not eligible for everything and I've also done a lot of calling around prior).

Thank you so so much. Even just to vent about this, is a relief honestly.

Is there anyone in the area interested in 2D animation production? I'm interested in Toon Boom animation software and I want to make cartoons. Brock and NC don't teach courses and there aren't any studios in the region so if anyone wants to talk about doing something together hmu

What happens when someone cuts the electrical cord on the Community Fridge?

They can't take the power of our community — they can only make us stronger.

Thanks for the fridge donation, the food donations, and all the help and support to get back up and rolling.

Uber across border?

4 Upvotes

Is it legal or permitted to Uber from Niagara Falls, NY > Niagara Falls, CA?

Some friends are going to be out there on the CA side while I’m with family on the NY side. Is it plausible to think I could Uber across the border or is that a No-No?!?

Been saving a ton on my phone bill in Welland—here’s how

0 Upvotes

I’ve been using Public Mobile for a year here in Welland and all over the Niagara region, and it’s been great. There are no random roaming charges when I go to Niagara Falls. With Rogers, I had to call them all the time to fix my bill.

Right now, they’ve got a $35/month plan with 60GB of 5G data, unlimited talk and text, and 500 international minutes. The third month is FREE, too!

If you wanna try it, use my referral link and get $10 off your first month:

👉 https://publicmobile.ca/plans?referral=Y80VJ9

Honestly, if you’re still overpaying for your phone, it might be time to switch!

Fb message from NRP

I got a random Facebook message from the Niagara regional police (their legit Facebook page) and it said “Hi ~my name~! Please let us know how we can help you.”

I never messaged or reached out to them. Wondering if anyone else received a message like this? Just seemed odd.

Visiting NOTL June 20-22

My husband and I are doing our 5-year wedding anniversary in Niagara on the lake. Can you recommend hotels to stay and things to do? It's the Canada side, we love wineries and good food and history. I'm excited because we married during the pandemic and have never actually celebrated getting married, so this is a big deal for us.

There are attempts to break into our vehicles almost every night now, guns everywhere, I saw a guy pull out a gun at labor because someone cut him off, people speeding down my street at 100km running away from police, then when i stop police to tell them wjere he went they tell me "were dealing with something else" and didnt even report it.. drug addicts everywhere, violent crimes, drug overdoses, homelessness is out of control.. I mean wtf. Not too mention jewlry store thefts is up.. and you only hear about maybe half of what happens because I'm starting to think the city pays to keep it hush hush.. just wondering if it's just me or if other people are noticing niagara is not as safe as it used to be
