Do you remember how nice it was to rescue a puppy or any dog from being put down? Now you need thousands for the vet.
I am seeing commercials for pet insurance because it can cost thousands to get a dog or cat treated. How insane is this? Who can afford to take on the responsibility of an animal if you need a separate bank account FOR an animal?
My last two Basset Hounds were rescue hounds and it never cost anything like that for anything. Besides, instead of Insurance, you can always apply to CareCredit and have a year to pay them back interest free. Those pet insurance deals are like extended warranties on cars. Total rip offs and never pay for whatever caused the problem. CareCredit is a much better way to go.
Thanks. I still hear all the time that pet costs can be horrific. I know nothing about care credit except that it has the word credit in it and that means an ongoing bill. If that's the case, I'll keep my parakeets.
