Regrettable for these faithful companions who nevertheless sometimes badly need it.
If their health is really important to us, we can find low-cost solutions . Watch:
Our vet, we chose him because we like him, we feel that he is professional, that he likes his job! The kind of professional who is committed to caring for and relieving animals above all else . If we have a temporary money problem, he will arrange for us without hesitation by offering us several or even deferred payments.
For example, when I decided to have my dog sterilized, I was unable to take out €271 at the end of the month. My vet accepted that I pay him in installments Note. So I made him three checks which he cashed later.

Some people like to say "When you don't have money, you don't have animals!"
Too simplistic as reasoning, we are not immune to hard knocks , bad passes.
Precisely, in these bad times, our faithful companions provide us with true moral support.
In exchange, they only ask for love, food and care. Thanks to these organizations, this last point is now within reach of all households.
