RE: For the love of a dog - vet bills, insurance and responsible ownership
I had 2 cats..I got two new cats. Before i brought em home I had em checked up for basic transmitted diseases and got rid of flees and stuff like that. Cost round 100 euros. All was oki doki. After a while I had em neutered. Cost round 140 euros. But as i brought the neutered cats home I must have draged some virus with me. The older 2 cats got it. I will not drag this story for long. Treatement cost round 800 euros. So in one month the total cost was over 1k euros.
I will not even go into the emotional stress all this brought me.
We don't have animal insurances here. Never hurd of them. Like you...if i had millions id prolly dump millions if needed...but something needs to change.
It is horrifyingly stressful isn't it? I've been in the situation before with smaller animals (you can't really insure them here) and it's heartbreaking. You feel like the worst person in the world for worrying about the money but the cost can be so astronomical.
