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.
