The Financial Stress Can Be Overwhelming Vet bills, medications, special diets, and equipment add up quickly. 3. Many People Don’t Understand Friends and family may not realize why you can’t simply leave your dog alone for hours. 4. Caregiver Guilt Is Real You worry when you’re away and sometimes feel guilty when you’re not. 5.
