When I was growing up no one took their dog to the vet at all lol.
But look at me now, my pooch has always had better healthcare options than me, he gets his teeth cleaned annually (and I brush his teeth nightly), and I’m already looking into taxidermy options for when he “goes to college.”

It comes with the territory. Don’t have sex if you don’t want a dog or whatever.
