We have 90/10 insurance to avoid this question.

My opinion on this is probably way different from what my wife and kids think

I would spend no money on the 15 year old shih tzu and <5K on the 4 year old golden doodle. My wife would probably spend

Would you be okay with it? 10k is crazy amount.

I would whine and then pay it.

Sounds like a lovely moment. 😉

I would always advocate paying "NO" money for any Shih Tzu.

Depends on the age of the dog.

The part confusing to me is the vet wanted to charge you $5k and then had a

My Dr is a swindler like that too. He recommended a hernia surgery. It was THOUSANDS out of pocket. I said no.

Ragnar Danneskjold

I 100% believe that some vets will push an expensive surgery without informing

25 cent .22 shell is much cheaper than a vet bill. Call me heartless
