According to new research, pet owners are shelling out more and more cash to take care of their furry friends.
The average total spent by pet owners each year is $2,260, according to a survey of 2,000 cat and dog owners commissioned by VIP Petcare.
That equates to more than $20,000 over 10 years.
Many of the costs associated with pet ownership are for unexpected treatments and medication that result from pet-related medical emergencies, the survey found.
