    To be fair, I’d rather put my dog down than put it through chemo.

    Humans can understand the agony is for a reason. Your pet can’t. Don’t keep your pets alive for yourself.

    Also, is it really so shitty for a publication to provide tips on cutting costs when the economy is in the shitter? Im sure most news sites are barely hanging on by a thread, so it’s not like they’re benefiting from the economy being fucked.

        This. The primary goal of chemotherapy in pets is to minimize symptoms to improve their quality of life. It’s nowhere near the high dosage that humans undergo in order to completely eradicate their cancer.

        My cat is technically on chemotherapy. She gets a pill 3 times a week and a blood test every 3 months to check that it isn’t causing issues with her bone marrow.

        So far, no symptoms. Without it, she’d probably have died a year and a half ago. When I used to hear about a pet getting chemo, I had a mental image of a really sick pet, but it’s pretty much the opposite.

      Yes, it is, and you’re a huge bootlicker for trying to side with fucking Bloomberg, of all sources.

    I mean, Bloomberg and The Economist are two of the most old rich white man places you can get your news.

    Do NOT eat the rich, they are bad for your health 🤣

    The price of cars is going up so what you should do is take the car you have and turn it into cash. Yeah, fucking great idea.
