Pet owners in South East fork out
By Kate O'Raghallaigh
The South East of England has the most expensive veterinary costs in the UK, with the average bill amounting to £98.64, according to Saga Pet Insurance.
Research from the insurer also found that the South East (0726.HK - news) is the most
expensive area to be a dog owner, with the average dogs vet bill coming to £347.89. For cat owners in the North West - the most expensive region in which to be a cat owner - the average bill amounts to £321.36.
Pet owners can expect to pay up to £4,000 if their animal fractures a bone and up to £10,000 over several years if their pet has a more complicated condition such as a tumour or spinal disorder.
Andrew Goodsell, Chief Executive, Saga Group Ltd, said: Without appropriate pet insurance in place, owners could be faced with the nightmare prospect of having to withhold care because its simply too expensive.
