if l was to give any advice to a new animal owner is please consider pet insurance
we have a small dog, a rescue, and are with rspca pet insurance. Serious fixable medical issues can cost tens of thousands (seriously just like the value of a car).
pet insurance for us was a ‘life saver’ turned a disaster into a more manageable affair. If in doubt speak to an emergency vet about what the potential costs can be. One word horrifying!
we incur massive expenses every year and the premium rises are honestly pretty moderate.
