Woof!
After an initial exam costing $282,
my 8 year old boy is recovering from a crutiate operation costing $1691.
Money well spent, imo.
PitStop and I hope Sam is feeling better!
Let's see, $60 adoption fee, plus $55 twice yearly for heartworm pills, $20 monthly for flea pills, $40 every two weeks for dog food X however many years I end up owning him, and that's how much my dog is worth. Plus yearly vaccinations and licensing.
I have already decided on a set dollar amount that I will pay for emergency veterinary care. I'm very fond of him, but I can't afford to go into debt over him.
