People before pets: Coping with the high cost of animal medical bills

How much of the week do you spend working for your pets?

It's a fair question.

The last comprehensive report on the topic from the Animal Companion council found the average household with dogs spent $1200 a year on them. The average cat household spent $1005.

That report was from 2016, and costs may have changed a little since then, but then the answer was that a worker on the median wage then spent about the first hour of their week working for the cat, and a bit longer for the dog.
