My dog has been really healthy... but you end up spending some money preventatively or if they get into something they shouldn't. Like he had a high bile acid test - nothing came from it but I wanted to take him through whatever it took financially to get an answer (other than cutting him open). A lot of times it is how far you want to take something (try over the counter stuff v. prescription stuff) also. If you can clean their ears yourself v. paying the vet to do it, if you can clip your dog v. having a groomer do it, etc... that kind of stuff can add up too. |
