Question

I had to rush Bauer to the emergency vet today which cost $1844. Which I had to put on my visa. I don't have enough EF to cover it. Should I rearrange some cash envelopes or take from other future sinking funds to pay it ? Or treat it as a new bill ?  

Answer 1

I hope he’s ok. I would treat it as a new bill.  

Answer 2

Hope he is on the mend. New bill  and now you need a pet emergency sinking fund for the future for sure. If you end up with extra in your envelopes this month throw it at this bill!  

Answer 3

Hope he’s okay or going to be okay! Treat it as a new bill. Definitely agree that you should set up an emergency fund for the fur babies as well.  

Answer 4

Hello from a fellow greyhound owner! I have a pet cushion fund that I contribute to each check. I also have pet insurance because. greyhounds

@buckshot755 pet insurance is a great idea unless your pet has a pre condition. They won't cover it :( I'm pro insurance. I have it but got it for my animals when they where young. Pet cushion is a good idea!

@capstan oh that’s frustrating about the pre existing condition. I know the insurance I have has a wellness option so they reimbursement for the regular care including flea prevention, dental (a small amount) and fecals.

They are the best dogs ever! I have two as well. My boy dog has to go in for a blood test on Thursday to make sure he is cleared of Lyme antibodies. Shouldn’t be too much but we also need to get dentals done soon!  

Answer 5

Hope your pup is ok!  

Answer 6

Hope he’s going to be okay.  

Answer 7

Hope he gets better soon! ❤️

Answer 8

I have an emergency pet/vet sinking fund. The best envelope I’ve created so far. I’ve had two pet emergencies and had the cash in the fund to cover the charges both times. And, yes, I have a separate envelope for pet supplies and food.

I’m a greyhound mom too! (X2 actually) We also had an unexpected vet visit over the weekend. Fortunately our visit was nowhere near as expensive as yours! Hope he is all better!
