Before taking on a pet, it is important to consider the likely costs for its care, which include routine veterinary fees and unexpected costs. If your pet develops a serious or long-term medical condition, or has an accident, you will want the best treatment available, and this may involve costs that are difficult to afford. These costs may be mitigated by, for example, taking out pet insurance, or making regular payments into an allocated bank account. Planning for meeting these costs will give you peace of mind that you are able to give your pet the best modern veterinary care when it is needed.
