The soaring cost of pet health care
Just before moving to California, Rachel and I lost our beloved Maru due to a combination of bad health and a showdown between our lives and his. To this day there’s still a part of me that regrets the decision we made, but I know that things have turned out for the best ever since.
One of my coworkers recently spent the money he and his girlfriend had saved up for a new MacBook and a fancy vacation in Mexico to pay for surgery on their dog’s knees. Sara and John discovered last month that something as simple as getting rid of fleas isn’t as cheap as it used to be. According to Newsweek, the high cost of human health care is also being reflected in the cost of taking care of a sick pet. It brings up a quandary of moral issues stemming from the slew of financial problems people are faced with nowadays, and it really sucks.
