    2025/09/12
    In this episode, we delve into Synchrony's 2025 Pet Lifetime of Care Study, revealing the rising costs of pet parenthood for dogs, cats, and "pocket pets." A key takeaway is that nearly 8 out of 10 pet owners underestimate the true cost of care. Jonathan Wainberg, with his extensive background in global finance and pet wellness, shares insights on current pet spending trends, including increased investments in health insurance and wellness plans for dogs, as well as a rise in wellness investments among cat owners.

    The discussion emphasizes the importance of budgeting and practical strategies for pet owners, highlighting how tools like CareCredit can help manage expected and unexpected expenses, empowering owners to provide timely and necessary treatment. The episode concludes with advice on proactive planning as a "form of love," reminding listeners that "planning ahead keeps tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and surprises at bay."
