Does a single vet visit feel like it could wipe out your bank account?

You're not alone and you're not doing anything wrong. Too many pet parents walk into the clinic hoping for a quick checkup and walk out hundreds of dollars poorer, without knowing how it happened or how to avoid it next time.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real cost of veterinary care and giving you a smarter way to plan ahead, so you’re not caught off guard, financially drained, or forced to choose between your budget and your pet’s health.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • The most common budgeting mistakes pet parents make and how to avoid them
  • Key questions to ask your vet before the invoice hits your inbox
  • Cost-saving strategies to keep your pet healthy without sacrificing your financial sanity

You shouldn’t have to panic every time your pet needs care and with a few proactive steps, you won’t have to.
