[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is some kind of crazy. I have a large breed dog.

Costco huge bag of food. The yellow bag. $30
Heat worm pills. Costco $10 month. Actually less but rounded.

You go to the vet for an annual check up. Maybe $200
So $10 month.

So my dog costs me $50 month.

And you know what they do when you go to work. 
The fart and sleep.

What your spending is not what you need to spend. [/quote]

You're very lucky your dog is healthy. Mine tore her ACL (3k) and got twisted gut. Another 3k. The chances of her tearing her other ACL are 50%.

What?! $6,000 in surgeries and more to come? At what point do you just say I can't afford to pay any more, and let nature take its course? [/quote]

"Economic euthanasia" is a real thing. For many of us, pets are family. If we can afford to do what it takes to keep them happy, healthy, and alive, we do it. Others make different choices.

There are also groups out there who can help folks who need help caring for their pets. There's a veterinary surgical center in Richmond that specializes in affordable pet surgery, to try to make it so people don't have to make those hard choices. It's called Helping Hands. There's a group in Chicago to help people get cancer treatment for their dogs, if they can't afford it - the Live Like Roo Foundation.
