That's actually great advice for anyone with a dog. Veterinary care is expensive and emergencies always seem to happen at the worst possible times financially. What I did with the wonderful vet I have been with for years is send them the $35 I would pay for pet insurance every month to build up a spending account much like what I have through work. You don't want it to be huge amount like you would have in a savings account, but it's fabulous to have about $500 with them to cover an emergency or a bill that was a little more than you expected. |
Kind of like and FSA or an HSA for humans
