Pets can get treatments that aren't yet approved for humans - if you've got the budget, there are vets who can do.. whatever.

On the other hand, I had a vet tech friend who said that most people would opt out of treatments that cost more than $200-$300. That's how much they value their pet.

Remember that most of America doesn't have $400 in savings. It's not that they don't value their pets, it quickly becomes "help the dog, or feed my kids"
