- I have looked at this, and of course, pet owners have become more cost-conscious, prepared to go further than before and insure to a greater extent.

But we have not seen that they would not take their animals to the vet, says Åsa Hagelstedt at the association Djurskyddet Sverige.

She believes that most people are willing to do almost anything, such as take out a loan, to help their pet if an accident occurs.

And think we need to start discussing the ethical issue, how far should we go when it comes to extending the lives of animals.
