We happily sacrificed for our dogs. Lots of times we couldn’t go on trips we wanted to go on because of the dogs. But we did travel some because they loved to go bye bye.
We cared so much for them that we drove from Houston to Jonesboro, Arkansas to have their teeth cleaned because we trusted the vet. And we could actually make the trip and save money because it was so expensive in Houston. And that included gas and motels. Or maybe we were just rationalizing. Ha!
No you were using commonsense. I’m 70 next month, take drying agent meds, which have destroyed my gums, loosened teeth, I have 9 lower, full upper, but they have shifted and need braces, the worse is the receding gums are extensive, I’ve added it up $45,000+ for grafts, braces, 2 molar implants. My answer Pull the 9 lower, make a dental plate. When the Upper start falling out, you can pull them and do a upper denture at a fraction of the $45,000. I could buy 2 cars for that kind of money.
We have 1 that rides well, 1 who pukes, so it’s easier to board at the Vet, who I’ve used 30 yrs. And do the Wellness package on the 1 due for her shots. I can have peace of mind they are getting the best care possible.
