I’ve heard my fair share of horror stories when it comes to pet bills!
Many people in my family have had to dish out hundreds, and sometimes even thousands—of dollars to keep their little fluff balls going. It can be tough. You always want to help your pet, but with rising veterinary costs, that can make things tricky.
I’ve heard of people getting pet health insurance, which might sound a little wild, but I would seriously consider it if I were to get another dog!
Here are some rough estimates of a few popular providers that Nova Scotians use.
