Honestly, I don't think I would pay more than $200 to keep my pet alive. Granted, I don't have a pet now. I have had pets before and I know how I felt about them. Don't get me wrong, I loved my pets to death. When I was growing up I had dozens of pets. My mom had a habit of buying new ones every few months. We'd get a dog or a cat or a few birds, whatever impulse she had at the time really. They never lasted. They would start causing problems and she would make up some excuse to get rid of them. The only thing that was constant was a horrible little chihuahua. I guess I learned to accept loosing a pet through all of it.
