I read of far too many people who don’t get vet care for their dogs because they can’t afford it. I’m a hard butt about this; WE choose to have dogs & care needs to be given. I personally don’t care if you don’t have money. Get the pet=vet care. Get card credit, get a credit card, beg or borrow the money, etc. I have read where people get po’d that vets won’t take payments….if they did that for everyone, they’d never get paid. Twenty fivem years ago, our first dog got sick & died in less than a week; we didnt have the money or credit card. Because we had always paid prior vet bills, we paid off the balance a little at a time but I assume because we were already clients of good standing.

I’m not saying that people who don’t have much money shouldn’t have pets but if you don’t have something for both routine & emergent care, get a gerbil.
