Having several pets reach their senior years at the same time can be financially draining, as vet bills can drastically increase
My Lacey and RB Mandy were 10 months apart. Lacey is 6 now and Mandy died last summer at 5. They both have finacially drained us with vet bills over the last few years. Ages of my pets would never be a factor after this experience.

For me, two dogs, two cats and my fish are enough for me right now, especially with Layla being a puppy.
