I don't think it is fair to say if you can't afford to buy the pup.. then you can't afford to pay the vet bills. I didn't have a lot of money growing up.. but that didn't stop me from loving animals. I think there is a huge difference in not being able to pay 1,000.00 all at once.. and saying if they can't pay that.. they can't afford to pay 35.00 vaccinations. Our breeder let us make payments on Chloe.. of course it was from the day she was born, and we had to have the last payment when she was 8 weeks old.. but nonetheless we wasn't able to just pop out 1,000.00 out of nowhere.. we paid a little out of our check each week and my husband worked overtime.. (which he would do if they got very sick and needed lots of money) BUT just because we couldn't afford to get her without making payments.. doesn't mean shes done without. She eats science diet. She has all vaccinations, is spayed, and recently caught coccidiosis and was immediately taken to the emergency clinic (it was a saturday). She has toys, bones, and even lots of clothes. Actually a lot of times, we do without.. just so I can buy her and my other yorkie cute clothes lol. I do agree though that people shouldn't get their pets from pet stores..my aunt had a lot of problems with 2 animals she got from there. But once again just because we sometimes can't afford 1 grand up front or more.. doesn't mean we don't love animals and wouldn't do our best to do everything for them!
