We spent $13,500 on 1 dog and 2 cats last year. $7500 of that was for an ER visit. If this happened early in our life, the pets would either hack it without this expensive care or we would put them down. We did not have $13,500 to spend on an animal back then. We do now, so we spend it, although I have thought about accidentally leaving the back door open.
We now average $500 / month on medications, special food and grooming. That doesn't include pet sitting when we travel. We will always have a pet, but never 3 of them again.
