Text me your question or inquiry here!Hey friends! This week on the pod, I’m sitting down with my good friend Dr. Tannetje Crocker for a really important conversation about something every pet owner wonders at some point — why is vet care so expensive?We’re breaking down everything from why you shouldn’t bring emergencies to your general practice vet, to what makes ER and specialty practices cost more, to how we as veterinarians think about “value” when it comes to your pet’s care. We even touch on the hard stuff — like financial euthanasia decisions — and how you can plan ahead for your dog’s breed, set realistic expectations, and protect yourself with pet insurance.Do you have a question or inquiry for me? Send me a text from the link above, ask me on any social media platform, or email
