Is a heckin doggo a good investment?

Isn’t there like pet insurance?

this retard never watch Old Yeller?

It feels like everything people used to take for granted now costs 10 times as much. I would never own a pet of my own or have a kid, with how poorly my job pays and how much everything costs.

Without joking around or saying ridiculous shit, what is the most you all would spend on a vet bill? Anything over 5k and i would be considering end of life treatment. At 10k might as well have them put down

>>60665200
Anything over $1000 and he is getting put down by me for free.

>>60665200
Depends really. If spending more than 5k on a vet bill it's becuase the dog is probably horribly sick.
Like sure spend 10k to fix the dog but how long will it live after and what will the quality of life be like?
People spending 20k a year on vet bills for the dog to live like a vegetable constantly shitting itself and in pain.

Lol, for that kind of money what treatment is the dog getting? Chemotherapy and lying in a hospital bed with a bunch of tubes coming out of its face, a breathing machine and a nurse by the bedside 24/7? I love my pets but there ain’t no way I’m spending that much.

>>60665200

my wife agrees with you, and ive moved towards that
we only adopt also.
if a dog is so unhealthy that they cant keep living we would put ours down and get another.

>>60665275
Big pharma and the insurance industry distorting prices, not to mention other costs like rent.

I never went to the vet other than to get my dogs dewormed once.

But then again, one of my dogs passed away in its bed after suffering with a tumour + intermittent seizures and the other died in my arms.

The trick when going to a vet is to act like you dont give a fuck about the dog, have 0 emotion.

If you go in all emotional and concerned, they will charge you massively higher than normal

A vet begged me to get an operation for my dog, to the point where he literally charged me $600 for a $5k operation.

You don't actually have to pay for meme ass advanced medical care for a pet... this is just insane. They're pets, not your kids. Only one step up from livestock.

They charge as much as people will pay. It's really the idiot consumer's fault for accepting this and actually paying it. Vet is becoming like medicine, an asymmetric industry where some suckers pay full sticker price and everyone else negotiates it down or refuses.

You sound also Reddit. A kid will squeeze every cent from you at your death bed while a dog asks nothing else in return from you besides to take care of them.

>>60667282

Sounds like projection. Properly raised children aren't like that, they love and support their parents in their old age. A dog will have a brief 10 year life of shitting and barking and then pass on. If you see something spiritually higher in that well... maybe you're something of a base creature yourself. Crazy that this even has to be said now.

>>60665136 (OP)
I'd say so, yes. Only if you can afford it though. I have two dogs and they have insurance so anything more than a measly $5k from me and the insurance picks up the rest of the tab. I raised one of them since he was a puppy and rescued the other one off the street when they were on the verge of death. These creatures depend on my mercy for everything in their lives and you can see it in their eyes every time they look at you. Their loyalty to their master is undying. It's genuine nigger behavior to quantify that over some bullshit like money. I have more compassion for dogs than human beings because dogs have zero choice in the overall outcome of their lives. Humans on the other hand do, and still manage to mostly act like retards and fuck up their own lives.

yes a dog is a good investment. a dog keeps you active and you bond with it. paying ridiculous bills is not a requirement. sometimes it is just best to let the dog go if the quality of life for it isn't good even with surgery.

>>60667414
You're half right. (The DNA is worthless: literally all of it exists in other bodies. Redundancy: did you think evolution was a fragile process, that would be thwarted by individuals, contingent of mere temporal actions, of the billions of bumbling beings carrying these copies?)

Lineages never worked (medeival idea best illustrated in royal lineages: they're all retarded today.) Look at me, I'm the offspring of the Kings of the ancient eras. Only carrying pieces of copies of the DNA, as did they, as did their ancestors.

You're arguably less than a bug cause the bug will continue to exist in some form. You worship the end of existence and servility in animals, great stuff anon!

>>60667492

Not really sure what you're trying to say. Obviously DNA isn't 1:1, we can see this in family groups, races, nations. That's literally how evolution works, random mutation and different forms of DNA permutation. I'm not larping as a royal, I'm stating a patent fact, you are your line. The closest we get to immortality is continuing it, the literal spiritual and genetic manifestation of yourself, those before you.

There is, but most people don't buy it, and even if they do it has strict limits. They're not going to pay out for brain surgery if your dog has a brain tumor, just to give your dog another three weeks of life as a brain-damaged comatose blob.

Dogs are great but there not substitutes for children because you're a loser adult virgin. Calling yourself "Mom/Dad" to your dogs is super sad. Notice only childless people do that.

Unfortunately I might be cucked by my wife’s sensitivities, but I would personally refuse to pay anything north of like 1000 dollars and would in most cases just opt for the old dog treats deep in the woods exit

I understand that the dog or cat is ‘part of the family’ but it’s absolutely ridiculous to spend that kind of money on an animal that’s reaching it’s end or life

And same goes for me, I wouldn’t bankrupt my family with crippling hospital bills if I got something terminal or quality of life detrimental. Just pain killers and spend my last months or years with family

Leaving your dog in the deep in the middle of nowhere in the woods?

Why dont you just pay the fee for euthanasia or take the dog to a pound.... why make it struggle for days/weeks out in the middle of nowhere... thats just psychopathic

>>60665144
It only costs that much if you buy Jewish lies. A dog doesn't have to be expensive. And if it gets sick use dmso, aspirin and if that does not work, a bullet.

Kids too. They don't need all the stuff the jews sell you. Hospital birth is not a necessity. Doctor visits neither. School is free, and homeschooling is a possibility.

They need to learn responsibility and marketable skills. Most collage grads have hard time getting jobs anyway, school is a scam for most people these days. You could even live in an ecovillage where the kids can grow food so they actually are an asset not a pure liability.

Get out of the system as much as possible. It is meant to enslave you. And they will keep squeezing harder and harder so better sooner than later.

>>60668688
Are you retarded anon, you take them into the woods, dog is happy with all the smells and sounds, then you put a bunch of treats on the ground and shoot it while he’s the happiest he can be

>>60665200

Probably like 2k or so. I wouldn't have anything outside of straightforward, obviously necessary stuff done. Broken bones, stitches, minor surgery and stuff like that.

Prescription pills for a dog? You're insane. Doctors already know so little about humans and vets even less. They're fleecing you for bs. I know someone who recently paid $10k for "chemo" for their old dog with cancer and he died like a week later lmao.

It's just a fucking pet ffs, plebbitoids & roasties are mentally deranged.

Humans did fine without jewish vets siphoning their wallets before the 90s. My oldest memories from my grandparents at the farm are my granma drowning the litter of kittens from her pussy in a bucket full of water (because no need for more than one cat to get rid of the rats) then feeding the pigs with it, and my gramp bonking his old sick dog -that he loved more than most humans- on the head with a shovel then burying him in the forest.
That's how we did for millenias. It wasn't cruel, it's how we have done it as humans since we domesticated animals. Resources are precious, more precious than life. Only in a decadent society designed around wasting resources we think about such vanities. It's incredibly egoistic & deranged to waste 50K for an old dog.

>>60665200
I payed 20k to save my dog, it required 2 blood transfusions and a week stay at an animal hospital, i have money and feel for anyone who can’t afford to save their animals.

Remember the scene in "Of Mice And Men" where the hobos ask some other hobo to shoot their dog for them, and the other hobo takes the dog off into the woods, and then they hear like three minutes of random gunfire and howling and whining until the other hobo finally manages to not fuck it up?

Nitrogen or helium or argon asphyxiation is simple and painless. The dog passes out and never wakes up. Cost is minimal, even if you have to rent a tank of gas.

My sister has dog and horse. When the horse as much as begins to seem to have a swollen ankle or different shit or many other things, she calls the vet. It's easily a total of about $30k per year for both animals.

The dog culture has gone off the rails. Dogs were domesticated for the purpose of guard duty, protecting and herding lifestock, hunting, tracking. Being a suburban or urban retard and having a bunch of dogs in your tiny apartment is fucking mental illness. Worse still, a lot of retards treat them as their "fur babies" instead of the pissing, stinking, vomiting animals that they are.

>>60671977
I have children and I hate jews. The fact that it makes you irrationally mad is a joy to me.

Dogs shouldn't need the vet. They certainly shouldn't get cancer. Similar to humans, much of the veterinary industry is dependent upon the consumption of modern foods by animals. Whenever I see cases like this I just think it's a stupid and oblivious owner who buys dog food to save money but is happy spending thousands on vet bills to prolong the suffering. Same thing with humans, people will gladly eat the slop to save money only to complain about their medical and prescription costs. Eat meat.

>>60671986

>>60671995
You don't need vegetables per se, but they have some value, especially when you have a six months old that's having food other than breastmilk introduced into his diet.
For example they need a lot of iron at that stage and vitamin C helps a lot to digest iron they otherwise get in meat, so it's worth giving them some broccoli and stuff.

What they don't need and shouldn't have is grains, legumes, fruits, oils, etc.
Lots of meat and some vegetables and dairy.

Children are cheap. Babies only drink breast milk and if you use cloth diapers (which you should because disposable diapers are full of chemicals that cause rash and chemical burns on their genitals).

Once they're bigger they eat normal food but very little. Clothes second hand are dirt cheap. Education is tax-funded.

That's it. You have a child that cost almost nothing in terms of money. It does take time and effort, but it's worth it.

Those telling you that you need to be rich and have a house and seven figures before having a child want you to wait until you're old and can't find a fertile woman to have children with you. It's mostly jews pushing this narrative.

>>60671447
theyre not extremely cheap. but theyre not THAT expensive. a lot of purchases can be reused between kids if you have multiple of them. whats expensive is paying for more room because housing is too expensive (thanks boomers), then maybe getting them a car when theyre 16. what really balloons the cost is a private education, and then college. but lets be real - college as we know it is not going to exist in 20 years
