Stacie Straw emphasized the emotional and financial struggle of pet owners, stating, "It's really hard and expensive for most people - it's difficult to spend $100 to take your dog to the vet just to know if there's an issue."
The increase in veterinary costs is attributed to multiple factors, including expensive medical technologies, rising drug prices, and operational costs of veterinary practices.
Veterinarians shared that their own burdens stem from high education costs and alarming suicide rates, highlighting the industry's mental health crisis.
The corporatization of vet practices is a significant factor pushing costs up, with larger corporations prioritizing profit over pet care.
