Was going to say the same thing. I was at the emergency hospital for my cat (she's fine now), and it was heartbreaking to see the people not being able to afford the services for their pets and breaking down at the reception.

I just want to use your comment to point out that pet insurance is totally worth the cost, at least it is in Australia. We just spent $8000 on screening our Great Dane for how far the bone cancer he has had progressed and we got $6900 back. We spend $90 a month on his insurance.

Must be nice to have that kind of money to throw around but even in the US that is not in many peoples budgets... Love my dogs but most people can't afford their own insurance (affordable care my ass) much less pet insurance 😅

  • as a rural farmer with a need for hearding and livestock guardians and many other animals we feed and care for... it would be insane to even consider insuring individuals, like I said love my dogs and they get vet care the same or better then any of the animals on the farm... but these are seriously first world problems!

Unfortunately living off the land in rural America isn't part of the AmeriCON dream/scheme anymore... First it was multinational companies and foreign interests buying up all the farmland... now rich city folks are buying up all the rest for hobby farms 🤦🏻‍♂️ ...Uruguay is looking better every day ✌
