Basically, veterans have a certain financial burden at some point, and adding the service dog adds to the costs. If by malchance your dog gets injured or needs surgery and things like that, it's overwhelming, not only with our traumatic condition, our PTSD, but it's “Oh fuck, my dog is going to the hospital.” I'm talking like a real person on the street here.
It would be helpful if Trupanion could be paid by Veterans Affairs Canada for those services and those surgeries. Those are thousands of dollars, right? That would be helpful.
