Cost of owning pets


It is no secret, the cost of owning pets can escalate. Before you know it “Fluffy” has a fake fur sleeping blanket, diamante collar and gold plated food bowl, all because you want to make sure she is the happiest cat on earth. With the vast array of accessible pet products on the market, the options are endless for pet lovers like us to spoil our beloved animals.

Before you pick your perfect pet it’s important to consider the cost implications. Like any passion, the start-up costs are always going to be high – initial cost of your pet: purchase the pet, vet appointments, vaccinations, neutering, toys, food, the list goes on.

While you’re paying off your “pet debt” have you considered what happens if your beloved animal were to fall ill or be injured? Do you have a high disposable income to pay for those expensive vet bills, which can equate to thousands? A far more cost effective solution is pet insurance - with minimum payments as low as £5.00 per month, it is a no brainer.

Do you have any stories to share about the benefits of taking out pet insurance?
