Veterinarians nationwide reported that corporate managers pushed clinics to focus on profit, with vets often paid based on revenue. This encouraged them to see more pets, order more tests, and upsell services, creating a growing burden for uninsured pet owners.
Pet insurance could help you offset some of these rising costs, with some providing up to 90% reimbursement.
