Vet costs discourage me from owning more animals. I simply couldn't afford the care if my pets needed major surgery which I feel would be unfair to them and would break my heart and my family's heart too.

If one can afford having a dog or cat, one may have to pay extra. Think twice before doing so.

Ridiculous that one pays more for a dog than a human child.

The debate should be on whether it is reasonable that vets should charge so much. Using costs for human medical procedures as a comparison, the vet costs should not be higher.
