Limun: I have two dogs, occasional visits dont cost that much ...so far never needed a serious intervention ...but
there are some meds against fleas and ticks which cost 25 buck and they protect the dog for approximately one month ... in a country where the average income is less than 200 bucks
Really, I'm not complaining about the cost, although it is a lot, it just seems from the extreme price difference, that pets r a luxury, which I can't do without. At one stage I had 16 cats, lots of hamsters, 2 St Bernards, 2 cockatiels and 5 budgies, when the kids came to stay permanently for the first time.

I do earn a lot of money, so don't see it as a complaint....it is just a note.... for others....

Yes pets can cost sometimes more or as much as human docs sometimes.The dog I share ownership with only has to have what is called the Canine Distemper Combination shot once every year.He turned 5 years old this past June.

All the animals get annual inoculation cocktails. This cat of my son's is about 12 years old, and according to the vet needs the rest of her teeth pulled, that wasn't done before, and a further mouth cleansing after. I'm taking her in for the day tomorrow morning......

Vet is cheaper here. €50 just to speak to her, then add on top any bloods/innoculations/prescriptions.

Take the dog to the vet and he gets everything done for €20/30. Vet has better quality cheap magazines in waiting room too.

Now had I known this when my children were little........
