Pet Owners Beware
Pet Health Care Costs Are Spiraling Out Of Control:
What Can You Do To Protect Yourself And Your Pet?
With all of the modern conveniences and luxuries now available to pet owners including the rise of pet spas and the advances in pet food quality, it should not surprise anybody that the spending on pet health care in the U.S. continues to rise rapidly. It is estimated that the total American pet industry expenditure is right around $100 billion according to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) with $30 billion estimated to be spent on vet care and over-the-counter medication alone. These figures will only continue to rise as the APAA claims that there are approximately 85 million households with pets currently including nearly 5 million new households that have purchased pets since 2015, which comes out to almost 3,000 new pet owners in the United States every single day! The APAA also claims that 68% of American households now carry at least one pet.*
The joy of pet ownership also carries with it the burden of financial responsibility. According to the American Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (ASPCA), the average first-year cost of owning a dog, which includes vaccinations, spaying, neutering, training, initial medical fees and a crate can approach at least $2,000 with annual costs approaching at least $1,000 for most breeds thereafter. These figures however, do not include unexpected, emergency, veterinary trips, which all pet owners understand can happen at any time, and, depending on the ailment, can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars.**
