Responsibility for Veterinary Costs
A recent case in Munich highlights the legal responsibilities of pet owners regarding emergency veterinary care. When a cat was found unconscious and taken to a clinic, the owner refused to cover the treatment costs of 565.31 euros.
The Munich District Court ruled that the owner must pay, emphasizing that pet owners are responsible for their animals' welfare. Despite the owner's claims of wanting to use her own veterinarian and not being informed prior to treatment, the court maintained that the obligation to ensure care for the animal remains paramount.
This case serves as a cautionary tale for pet owners about the importance of being prepared for unforeseen emergencies.
