I may have to move when I retire, and moving out of the country is one option. What countries offer the best veterinary care? Including board certified doctors in oncology, cardiology, radiology, surgery…especially in the feline and canine field. We are so blessed to have some of the best doctors around, but I wonder about other countries. Any thoughts?
I would imagine the UK, Canada, Australia etc.
What are some disadvantages to retiring in the Philippines?
That is a toss up between Bantayan Island and my girlfriend. lol No really Bantayan is boring without her.

Yeah yeah, I know about Boracay but I like the serenity of Bantayan. It is my favorite place on earth. Palawan is my second favorite. I don’t think I’d like to live in Palawan, too remote. I live in Northern Cebu about an hour and half to get to Bantayan.
It is much cheaper to live in the Philippines if you accept the life style. If you insist on living the same as you do in the USA it can cost you more. I live much better by giving up a few things because I can travel. But the dollar does not go 40 to 20 times further, it is worth 40 peso’s but that doesn’t mean it translates to 40 times more dollars. I’d say about three to four times as much if you’re smart. Housing, food, and services are very cheap but my housing dollar doesn’t go 40 times further, my medical expense is easily 40 times less though.
