I keep reading on reddit about people who take their animals in regularly and who spend obscene amounts (200+ dollars) on meds and surgery and all that.
I've never once taken an animal to the vet. If they get injured I wait for them to heal, if it doesn't look like they're going to heal I shoot them.
Am I just a !bumpkins?

I give my dog flea/tick/heart worm medicine and shots he needs. I would also absolutely pay for something like idk if he broke his leg or something. Anything really if he can have good quality of life afterwards and it's not super expensive. Would never pay thousands just to keep him alive for like 6 more months or with shit QoL tho, would be really sad but that's too much. Also my vet was recently sending me emails for his 6 month checkup and... why? lmao

they're always emailing me too lol vets try to get money out of you any way they can. right when my dog started getting old, she fell playing in the backyard and seemed like she really hurt herself. crying, wouldn't walk at all, etc. so i threw her in the car and took her to get x-rays. when i went to pick her up my bill was crazy like over 1k, so i asked for an itemized bill. after the x-rays the bastards had shone some healing red light mlm bs for 20 minutes on her without even asking me if i consented to paying for that woowoo shit and wanted to charge me like $500 for the privilege

Were you able to get out of the extra when you told them you didn't ask for it? thats the type of shit I get worried about when taking mine anywhere. or just getting hosed on a things in general since i have no frame of reference whatsoever to what vet shit should cost lol.

yeah i just told them i didn't ask for it and there was no way i was gonna pay for it and they took it off my bill. pretty sure they just fleece people like regular hospitals do, where they expect you to just pay and not inspect the bill to see why it's so high.

That's to try to get you to sign up for their "membership program" which I guess is them giving you a year's worth of checkups up front and then overcharging you for them. I don't remember but the exact numbers but something like $1500 if you pay them $1000 up front or something.
I'd be more annoyed about that than the MLM bullshit.
