Curious where people draw the line money wise when it comes to care for your dog?

[testdepth]

Knowing that Vets use the love people have for their animals against them to convince them to do cancer treatments, diabetic shots, dialysis and many more treatments normally performed on humans.

Where do you draw the line at?
$500
$1000
$2000
$4000
$5000
$10000+

I personally spent $1500 on a dog that was a 8yr old family pet. He died anyway.

I'm not sure what my hard fast number would be but I definitely have one. I love our dog but he is a dog.

Whatever I can afford, at the time.

Here's a story for you.

A buddy of mine and his wife adopted a rescue cat. Cat cost $5. Required to be spayed on adoption. Said cat got sick. The wife took it to the vet at UGA vet school. $5000 later the stray cat was cured. A few weeks later my buddy came home from work and the cat ran out the door. He tried to catch it but as it never liked him it just ran further away. He went home figuring the cat would come back. Wrong! Cat was ran over and killed. Wife blamed him for the cat's demise. Physically attacked him. Led to police being called. She filed for divorce! He spent a fortune on attorneys fees. Still had to pay alimony. Don't know the final cost but I do know it all started with a $5 cat.

Cats are not dogs.

I won’t know the line until I get to it.

More than I’d openly admit

Cats are not dogs.

True...just saying how some people feel about their pets. A few years back, a woman, her young son and their pet dog got lost and then stuck in Death Valley. The woman and dog survived. The son died from dehydration. They had some food and water with them. I am certainly not sure but I would have to believe that some amount of water that may have saved her son was given to the dog. Don't think I would have my priorities set the same way.

More than I'd spend on most people.

They deserve more than most people
