I know it can be as cheap as $9 a month. It's just so sad to reads posts from people who are desperate to medically treat their babies themselves because they cannot afford the vet bills. |
My dogs have their own savings account. Every payday I put some money in. Then when it's time for them to go to the doctor I withdraw from their account, not mine!!! It's always worked well for me. Then if I have a big expense it doesn't hurt my checkbook or my savings account!!
