Which hotel is your pet doctor staying at?

Three hours of stay in the clinic? My most expensive session was
more than $1400. I stayed in the clinic for about one hour waiting
for the results of the examination done on my dog.

This was x-rays, blood work, meds, etc. she’d been throwing up for almost a day. She seems to be closer to normal now though!

I complain, but I’d probably do it all again tomorrow.

Having gone through great expense would you gentlemen consider insurance for your next furry friend?

 

[harryass]

I assume u didn't buy your vet a gift or leave a tip. lol

 

[Conil]

There is pet insurance, I guess you weren't covered.

 

[Mishman527]

A literal LOL

Bwahahahahahahahaha

I was just quoted $2,800 to save one on my kittens. Made two phone calls and found an excellent vet who did it for $1,500 with a smile. All's well that ends well, but next time I'll shop around sooner.

KK

Did your dog partake in any scat play or golden showers?

...At least you got a happy ending out of it.

I was interested in getting a dog but maybe not...

My ex-landlord's Labrador-Border Collie was a healthy dog
that cost him nothing in vet's bill. He never bothered to bring the
dog to a vet clinic for basic services like vaccination.

My dog was bought by his first owner from
a less than reputable puppy farms. The dog
was vulnerable to the kind of skin allergy
triggered by foods and fleas. His owner
would have left him to the shelter if I
didn't adopt him. I couldn't bear the thought
of him being put to sleep as his puppy-sitter
and ended up his second owner.

If you exercise good judgement in the selection of
a healthy breed medical cost does not have to
be the primary concern.

I'd drop $900 on either of my pooches with no hesitation if it means full recovery - hey they're family. It's when it gets into $1k here and $1k there to maybe extend their life by another few weeks or a few months that I have a problem with it. Thankfully I've never had to make the decision myself but I think a lot of people don't euthanize their pets when they probably should and only keep them alive for their own peace of mind.

As a dog owner I'd say you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't get one. It is a commitment though, they aren't like cats, you are their world. FWIW typically smaller breeds have less health issues and live longer than larger breeds. Also mutts are usually healthier than purebreds due to the likely inbreeding that happened along the way needed to keep the breed pure. Those are just generalizations of course, you/(the dog) can get lucky or unlucky in either case.

You haven't been hobbying long enough to come across girls who escort to pay her vet bill, have you?

Doin' it doggy style!

My daughter paid $800 for her cat to be able to shit.

Pets give more value then we pay out in my opinion.

I have to take exception to your offhand (common) remark about cats not being attached to their owners. If you treat a cat with the same love and attention as you would a dog, a cat will be just as attached to you, even if acts show affection differently than dogs.
