Forty percent of pet owners surveyed said that pet insurance is too expensive, yet about the same number — 39% — said they’ve been saddled with an expensive vet bill.
Personal finance management Website LendEDU.com on Tuesday released the results of a survey of 1,000 American pet owners to see how much people spend on their pets. Insurance — naturally — was a hot topic as a way to curb expensive emergency care, as 20% of respondents said they have gone into debt caring for a pet, yet 61% said they do not have pet insurance.
