We do indeed. Sometimes a lot. Dad would roll over in his grave if he knew that his #1 son (actually all his kids and grandkids) pays quite a lot to keep Rover or (in my case) Kitty healthy. Back in the day, if a pet got seriously sick or enfeebled by age, we just shot them. It was the way of the time: money was not plentiful and a ready supply of pets (nobody spent money for neutering critters back then) was always available from neighbors.

It is a different time now. Oh, I suppose pet insurance was available even back in the day but even if we had known about it, we never would have used it. Today, we routinely drop $400 - $500 on Rover or Kitty per year and think nothing of it.

Veterinary clinics seem to do quite well in TV.
