How couples navigate expensive medical decisions for beloved pets

My wife and I have different ideas about how much to spend on our aging dog's medical care and every vet visit becomes a stress test of our relationship and our finances and our values about animal life. We're both animal lovers but we're discovering we have very different ideas about what love means in practice when the bills get expensive.
