I know that the rabies shots are necessary, but I question all of this twice a year visits, etc. I consider myself a responsible pet owner, all are neutered and they do get their shots each year.
Has America's extravagance with their pets caused the increase in vet bills?
Any opinions?

I think America is too interested in their pets and not enough in their own children. It is a sad day when a child has no restraint and no training. And the family pet has all the obedience classes and vet visits in the world. Why is that? Don't get me wrong, I love my animals, and they get taken care of very well. But kids in my mind come first then the family pet. Sorry had to let it out there. LOL
