I started a savings account. Each payday, the amount I have determined I can afford goes directly into that account. I do not use it for anything except vet costs. It adds up quickly and I always have enough for at least a checkup in that account.
Pets who receive regular checkups have less emergencies in the long run, as trouble can be detected before it is too late. We owe them nothing less.

I have done the same for my two dogs and kitty. There is a huge cushion waiting if they need it. I learned the hard way when my dog came down with Lymphoma and I went deep into debt for her chemo.
Now, I don't have to worry about another illness striking as I add to their savings account every month.

We do the same thing for our car. My adult son and I put $20 each in a savings account every month.

I have one credit card that I use for my animals.
Plus I have 250.00 every two weeks come out of my account to a saving account. I just have to watch what I spend anymore since I have 13 "Kid's",

Good advice - and there are WAY too many requests on ThriftyFun regarding a pet's health. Some are very serious problems too. Everyone should understand they should talk to their vet about their pet's health first!
