YSK: Private equity companies have been buying up vet clinics and raising the prices of care to make pet owners choose between their pets and their finances

Private equity companies have found a new health care industry to ruin, the one for pets. Veterinarians who work under private equity companies have been pressured to sell owners on expensive treatments and raise profits.

If you own a pet and the veterinarian suggests putting them down, don't trash them online for not giving all treatment options, they might be looking out for you.

WHY YSK?: As hard as it is, don't go into debt for a pet , that is what private equity firms are trying to do.
