    Definitely agree. I’ve fallen on both sides of that ability to afford treatments for pets, but I find the “just let sick pets die” sentiment disturbing.

      That is what happened, people didn’t go into debt or have to make hard choices about what bills to pay. Losing a pet sucks, but it was a definite thing. Now people can spend as much as 30-40k in extreme events.

      Are you going to spend $40k to save your pet. Are you a monster for not? That is why I will no longer own a pet.
