Tbh I’ve been considering getting pet insurance, but haven’t just bc I haven’t researched where to buy it and I can already comfortably afford my cat’s once a year checkup

I have spot for my dog and two cats and they’ve been amazing! My dog recently had a $2000 surgery and Spot reimbursed me $1600 of it

But anything can happen to your cat what if there’s some emergency that’s out of your price range you’re not just going to let it die that’s what pet insurance is for

I feel like that’s fair but I also think thats something that you learn when you do research before adopting a pet

Then you can’t afford a pet if you can’t afford health insurance what business do you have buying an animal?

Fair enough the vet should tell you and it’s also important to do your own research

Yes that’s true, my cat actually did have to get an expensive and unexpected surgery recently and of course I didn’t just let her suffer, I paid out the ass lol. I’m sure it would’ve been way cheaper with insurance
