Getting a pet has financial consequences that often surprise pet owners. Boo Larsen shares data from the recent Synchrony Lifetime of Care study along with three ways to help prepare clients for the cost of care:
- Prepare new pet owners for costs they may not anticipate.
- Recognize that an invoice of $250 or less may cause anxiety.
- Be upfront and open about the financial options you provide to help manage cost.
