The cost of owning a pet
Transcript
00:00Does the cost of owning a pet, would that put you off having one?
00:06No it wouldn't, because I think that you get more out of a pet than just its value.
00:14We have to pay £60 going to a PDSA vet and back,
00:20and then another £60 with the following date to go back and thankfully bring back a healthy pooch.
00:29But that was a bit worrying, had to tighten our belts that month.
00:35I'd love a dog, it doesn't worry, pay for it, vet bills and all that.
00:40It'll stop me going to places where I should be going.
00:45They seem to enjoy having you share their world with a little bit of running, a little bit of exercise, a little bit of sport.
00:53I'm going to be making a regular donation to the PDSA because they've been absolutely brilliant for us.
