PettyJayne :
I once took my dog with an emergency- bowel obstruction to the emergency vet! I thankfully had CareCredit and could pay the $4k to save his life. I asked the staff, what happens when someone brings in their dog and cannot pay the $4k for a bowel obstruction, she said it is cheaper to put them down. My mouth dropped. She then told me the story of a 6 month old hunting lab companion who came in, the owner could not afford the treatment, said to euthanize and walked out. The vet fixed the dog anyways and staffer kept the puppy. I said for real? And she said yeap, happens all the time. So like, people can’t pay to keep their pet alive, vet won’t help without pay so the owner surrenders, the vet does the medical treatment anyways and then the dog lives in another home?!? I no longer go there and LOVE our vet. When I could not pay for my dogs cancer tumor removal, the vet said she would do the surgery free of charge, I can just pay for the meds and overnight stay for recovery. He lived another 3 years with me. The day I put him down, she sat with me on the floor and cried with me. It hit her hard, she took the next week off. I brought a thank you card and 6 pizzas for the office. She still treats all our pets to this day!!! She is the bestest, her and her entire team! ❤️
