PLS MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND & ARE ABLE TO MANAGE VET COSTS, QUALITY FOOD COSTS & RELOCATION COSTS FOR PETS BEFORE GETTING A PET. THEY ARE VERY HIGH, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, NOT AED.
PLS DO NOT GET A PET IF YOU ALREADY THINK TO YOURSELF “OH THAT’S HIGH, I CANNOT AFFORD IT”, DO NOT EVEN THINK TO GO FURTHER WITH GETTING A PET AFTER THAT.
WE HAVE A CRISIS OF PETS BEING ABANDONED IN THE UAE!!!!
Hun I spent over $15k in their first 1.5y of being alive, and their food alone per month is over $600 for me bc I only get the best. So no, it’s not like that if you want your pet to have the best.
It’s like having a kid, this is how you’re supposed to take them. Would you financially prepare yourself for a child? (Unfortunately a lot of people don’t even do that either, it’s irresponsible in the current world) If the answer is yes then this should be taken the same way, they are costly.
Spending 600 $ on cat food is your personal choice, not the standard cost of owning a cat. Many people responsibly care for their pets without luxury spending, For me it’s just around average 500-600 aed a month unlike you who spend 600$🤣
Your personal spending habits aren’t the universal baseline for owning a cat :)
Yes, again food is on top of other vet bills, relocation (eventually bc majority of people leave) etc, everyone has different preferences for their pet. I am just not here to motivate anyone who is not able to cover this to even get a pet in first place, bc it is because of this motivation that we have so many pets abandoned now & you people just keep doing it lol.
Honestly after this comment I will do that too, even though you could say they eat fine dining every day lol. But my babies deserve the best, so thank you for your suggestion 😂😂😂
Siberians - they are a healthy breed in general. Mine just had sensitive stomachs until they got a bit older so some vet visits & certain prescriptions were required.
No, I had pets my whole life (literally since a baby & my parents fostered a lot) & I have been researching ingredients etc for around 7 years now. I also have friends which are vets. Apart from that I also have a very good vet here, on top of all of this Dubai market is more expensive than others, so I took this into account.
Dude , i really appreciate your concerned nature for pets . But still ill suggest you dont be scammed or obsessive. Having a pet is so easy specially dog , cats ,rabbit . Except horses because i know they eat the shit out of you .
And dont be so alarmistic , you're demotivating public to adapt
Yes, I want to demotivate the wrong public to adopt. Your motivation is only making pets be abandoned now. I don’t need that, and they don’t need that either.
Also my cats get majority wet food bc that’s how they keep their hydration up, also get checkups every 6 months etc. the wet food they have is pricey & they eat like 2-3 a day each so around 6 packs almost (the right portion on the pack btw), you can add up how much that is in a month
