Much of the expensive pet therapy drives our understanding of what we can do
to humans.  Some vets are actually at the cutting edge of new surgical
techniques.  Fido's exotic $5000 surgery may seem immoral to you.  Fluffy's
$6000 gene therapy may seem immoral to you.  When one of your human loved
ones has something similar in another 10 years, maybe it won't seem too
immoral any more.

If it's your money, you can decide how to spend it.  If it's not, you can't.
