Did you know that in Australia, pet health care is entirely paid for by owners, while most human health care costs are covered by the government?
🐱 Pet health care:
• 0% government funded
• 100 % owner funded (including pet insurance)
🚑 Human health care:
• 70.8% government funded
• 13.8% privately funded
• 15.4% out-of-pocket
Today’s pet owners rightly expect high-quality care for their animals, often on par with human medical standards. Veterinary teams work tirelessly to meet these expectations, and tailor care to each individual circumstance. But unlike human health care, which is largely supported by government programs like Medicare and the PBS, veterinary care receives no government funding and is fully paid by pet owners.
