🔍 "The improvement in pet health care may not be the best thing for you and your pet." What?! Before you get the wrong idea, let me explain what's behind this statement.

1️⃣ First off, veterinary advancements like Apoquel and Cytopoint for itchy dogs are amazing but come with higher costs—sometimes prohibitively so for many pet parents. 2️⃣ Consider cruciate ligament disease: while TPLO surgeries have outshined older methods like lateral sutures, the cost difference can be staggering. 3️⃣ Oncology advancements have significantly improved, but at a huge financial burden with relatively smaller life expectancy gains for pets. 4️⃣ Overall, the low-hanging fruit in veterinary medicine is gone, leaving behind improvements that are costlier and less impactful. 5️⃣ Reflect on your own circumstances. Is spending thousands for an additional month or two with your pet worth it for you?

💡The key takeaway here is to balance the benefits and costs of advanced veterinary treatments with your pet's quality of life and your financial situation. Not all interventions, even the latest and greatest, guarantee what you would consider significant benefits.
