Even in the midst of an economic downturn, your
companion animals should receive routine care.
When I'm sick everybody knows about it. It could just be a stereotype, but men have a terrible reputation when it comes to being able to handle illness.
Companion animals aren't likely to indicate that something is wrong with them right away. It pays to know the warning signs. It also underscores the importance of routine care for our dogs and cats.
Our animal's routine healthcare should not be dictated by finances or an economic downturn. It's important to keep pet care at the top of our list of priorities. When times get tough, medical care for your pets is not something that should slip to the bottom of the list.
If your financial situation is truly abysmal, consult your vet's office and find out if they have a payment plan or if they can refer you to reputable care that might be less expensive. Communication may not save the day, but it is a great start.
Your routine exam with the veterinarian is likely to include discussions about the following:
- PHYSICAL EXAM
- VACCINATIONS
- HEARTWORM
- SPAY/NEUTER
- REFERRALS
