If your dog became ill or injured, are you financially prepared to provide medical care?
*
The cost of an emergency vet visit can vary greatly based on the injury, condition, what type of pet insurance you have (if any) and whether your pet has a chronic condition that may require multiple emergency vet visits over a pet's lifetime. And if your dog or cat needs surgery, that can end up adding thousands of dollars to your vet bill — anywhere from $1,600 for a simple injury to upwards of $10,000 for something more complex. - CareCredit, 2022
