We no longer have a cat and have never had a dog, but this advert makes me wonder what's behind the massive apparent price rise in vet bills over the last couple of years.
It's an insurance ad and basically says, prices have risen by about 40% in the last 2 years (something like that). Can anyone shed any light? We stopped being able to afford vet bills some years ago and were lucky to have a healthy-ish cat but we rehomed her a while ago, for various reasons, this being among them (I waited till a place came up at a sanctuary and subbed her costs by a small standing order each month - then they told us she had found a proper home. I still pay the SO as it's all I can really do).
We would love another cat as our new home is more suitable but we won't, having had cats all my life including a spell fostering them for a charity - I cannot afford the potential costs if something goes wrong.
It makes me sad I suppose as there are so many needing homes and it probably puts a lot of people off. We had insurance for several years but they wouldn't pay for recurring conditions so it was cheaper to save the money and use it for that. But Heaven help us if she had got really ill.
