Is prepaying vet care cost effective? I want to make sure that when my new dog needs routine care, I have money set aside for it. My vet offers a monthly plan for $49 that covers routine care: shots, appointments, fecal, heartworm, etc. I was wondering what the average price of vetting a healthy dog is, and if this is a good choice financially or would an insurance plan make more sense. I’m not sure how insurance plans work, if I pay first and get the money back or if the vets bill them.

Despite responding well to the medication in terms of his platelet count, his back legs are failing, making it difficult for him to go upstairs or run. What exercises can help him regain strength, and is there a medication that could help without as many side effects?
