Why are my critters always so expensive?

[mothrhen]

My dogs get the dentistry I can't afford for myself. What's up with that?! Anyway, don't you just love it when your pug blows snot on you?!

The problem is not keeping his weight down but up! I have five acres and he fancies himself to be the mighty hunter, so runs all of his weight off. We have a saying at my house "I have pets and if you don't like hair on the furniture don't sit on the furniture, It's called FUR-niture for a reason. You guys should see the little nut job chase the roosters. He is full tilt until the rooster realizes he's bigger than the dog and stops running. Then Kaiser just stop and stares off into space like he wassn't doin nothing.

WOW my little yorkie had all but 5 teeth pulled and it was only $150. I love my vet. Sophi is so much better after having her teeth pulled. She went from 2.2 lbs to 4.8 in afew months.

I love this!!!!!!!

Also, we have a yorkie who had horrid teeth(we were told 6oo+ to fix), and since we switched to raw it has completly fixed the problem. Also the cartliage/bones help with joint problems for her too. Just a thought

I just had one of my dachshunds teeth cleaned and they pulled some and it cost me $500

But she is worth every penny...she is almost 14 years old and I will do whatever I have to for her....now one of my other dachshunds needs his teeth cleaned too...so I just got a credit card so that I can get his teeth cleaned before we go to the beach

they are very expensive to have but no amount of money on this earth could buy them from me!!!!!!! I LOVE MY DOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yup, am always thrilled when I have to clean it off of the living room window where he lays on the back of the couch. I hit it about once a week, otherwise you can't see out the window.
You guys should see how much I spent on the horse for sand colic. By the time I got a vet out my horse had been down on the ground for 2 days and I was on the verge of putting him down because I couldn't stand to see him suffer any more. This vet came all the way from Norco to Hesperia to see my horse and saved his life. Taz is now 22 yrs old and I have had him for 17+ yrs.

We have 2 pugs, our male has the same trachea collapsing. They still can live just fine with this however you should always use a harness when walking. And never any collar that pulls on the thoart. Our pug will cough sometimes. One time it was terrible he did it 2 days straight we took him in and they gave use like a sedative so he could calm down from coughing since the coughing was causing the problem. We now keep those pills on hand for any other coughing attacks. Our vet said they should be able to live just fine if taken the few precautions
