Ever found yourself at the vet swiping your card with one eye closed—just hoping the total isn’t another $3,000 surprise? You’re not alone. In this episode, Brittany and Christina pull back the curtain on the real cost of pet ownership — the emotional love story that often comes with a hefty price tag. From emergency surgeries to “Can I just pull them out myself?” moments, they dig into how far we go (and how much we spend) for the animals we adore. They chat about the emotional side of spending on pets, how the industry has exploded into a multi-billion-dollar machine, and why it’s so hard to draw the line between love and financial logic when it comes to our fur-babies. If you’ve ever questioned whether that vet visit, dental cleaning, or MRI was “worth it,” this episode will have you nodding, laughing—and maybe rethinking your next pet insurance policy.
