My advice would be to think about getting pet insurance. I ended up with really really high vet bills because Charlie got blocked from crystals and needed surgery and there were complications. Once he had his issue with was considered a preexisting condition and I can't get any coverage for him for anything related to this and he will be on prescription diet for the rest of his life and everyone at the vet knows him by name he is there so often. Just something to keep in mind for the budget. Charlie and Chloe are my first pets as an adult and while I had heard of pet insurance I didn't really consider it.
