I don’t have a dog, but I do have a cat. He’s almost 7 years old, but unfortunately, he developed kidney issues even at his young age. What does that mean for us? Well, it means that 3 times a week we have to give him an IV with fluids to keep his organs functioning correctly. I love that little dude and right now, we can still afford his medication, but it’s expensive! We’re spending at least $150-$250 every month or two for all the stuff he needs. Pets are a major commitment and responsibility, but they’re so worth it. I’ve never had pet insurance, but I definitely think it’s worth looking into. Best of luck with your pups!
