    Wow that’s a hard one to pin down, it all seems important (and expensive) to lessen costs…but vet care probably takes top.

    I have to say food, since that is a daily expense, but also vet bills since when they do happen they tend to be a HUGE expense. At least for food (and often training and boarding) there are coupons and discounts offered, if one knows where to look. The vet doesn’t seem to want to offer a break.

  • @mitydad

    I would like to save on prescriptions and vet bills. Here is the deal, my Beagle has had seizures his whole life, and the vet prescribed phenobarbital. The problem is, the vet want blood work like 4 times per year.

    This is a problem when you include a wellness visit and a $20 prescription every month. I was looking at about $800-1000 a year I honestly could not afford the prescriptions. I could afford to buy the pills, but the endless bloodwork, vet visits, wellness visits, just too much!

    Now we just hope he doesn’t have a big one, he gets them a couple times a year, they make me very very sad.

    I’d love to save money on my dogs veterinary care. We have pet insurance, however it does not cover yearly checkups and vaccinations which can be very pricey. Despite it all, I love him to death and would spend any amount of money to make sure he gets the very best medical care :)
