FAQ

Why Is Surgery for Pets So Expensive?

The costs of surgery quickly add up. Just like human surgery, pet surgery requires specialized medications, anesthesia, and specific types of care to keep the animals safe and comfortable.

What Happens if You Can’t Afford Your Pet’s Surgery?

If you can’t afford your pet’s surgery outright, options are available to help you. You should first speak with your vet about discounts or payment options. If those aren’t available, you can explore third-party assistance in the form of personal loans or grants.

Can You Get Pet Insurance Before Your Pet’s Surgery?

Technically yes, but in most cases, insurance will not cover an upcoming surgery. If you already know your pet needs surgery, the insurance company may view that as a pre-existing condition. It’s best to purchase pet insurance when your pet is healthy; if they later need surgery, you will already have established coverage.
