There is a distinct difference in being an animal owner and having a love for animals. Money being the first of these. You can love animals all you want but what happens when they get sick? Injured? Need to get shots? It costs money. If your not prepared for this ahead of time it can be a pretty big blow to your wallet.
Veterinarians are not cheap visits. And just like any doctors visit. The longer you wait the more expensive it is. That's why there are preventative measures to be taken.
Another of these differences is knowing your animals. What you can feed them. How they act. Basically you treat them like babies. They can't tell you when they feel bad or what's going on with them. You just have to KNOW.
If your not willing to do these things. To figure it all out or sign over the mortgage to your home to pay the vet bill then forget it. Owning a pet is a big responsibility. More than people think it is. Please know what you are getting into.
Don't take on more than you can handle and don't slub off your responsibilities onto someone else when you do. It just ends badly.
