Pet Emergency Fund Calculator

Determine how much money you should set aside for unexpected pet medical emergencies. Veterinary emergencies can easily cost thousands of dollars, and many pet owners are unprepared.

Why You Need a Pet Emergency Fund:

• Emergencies happen without warning (accidents, sudden illness)
• Emergency vet visits cost 2-3x more than regular appointments
• Pet insurance has deductibles and may not cover pre-existing conditions
• You shouldn't have to choose between your pet's health and your finances

Fund Size Factors:

• Age: Puppies/kittens and senior pets have higher emergency risk
• Size: Larger dogs typically have higher medical costs
• Number of Pets: More pets = more potential emergencies (not 1:1 though)
• Breed: Some breeds are prone to specific health conditions

Note: This calculator provides general recommendations. Consider your pet's specific health history and your financial situation when deciding on fund size.
