veterinary costs

Animal doctor expenses

Veterinary costs are the expenses associated with medical care for animals—examinations, vaccinations, surgeries, medications, and treatments.

The term appears frequently in discussions of pet ownership, insurance policies, and agricultural budgets: Veterinary costs for a sick dog can run into thousands of dollars.

Rising veterinary costs have made pet insurance increasingly common.
