Dogs may cost more to treat than people for several reasons: Dogs are generally smaller than people, so doses of medications and other treatments may be lower, but the total cost may be higher. Dogs may require longer treatment, including hospitalization, medication, and rehabilitation. Your dog's treatment may require the use of more medical equipment, such as X-ray machines, ultrasound machines, and ventilators.
Dog treatment may require specialized knowledge and skills, such as veterinarians, caregivers, and assistants. Dog treatment may require higher clinic or hospital fees, including rent, electricity and other maintenance costs. Your dog's treatment may include surgery, which may add to the cost. All in all, dog treatment can be more expensive than people because it may require more medications, treatment time, and medical equipment, as well as higher clinic or hospital fees.
