I’ve seen plenty of dogs and cats that were long past their quality of life.
OK, but that’s not what people are arguing with you about. I don’t think people would disagree with you if you were only talking about spending money on pets to extend their lives without making them happy/comfortable. But there are a lot of instances where you can increase your pets lifespan without losing any quality of life. Sometimes that’s expensive, and it can be a really hard choice to make (especially if you have trouble affording it), but it sounds like you’re arguing that people shouldn’t spend a lot of money on their pets no matter what. That’s absurd.
…it’s just a pet. Give them some love, food, housing and that’s all we need, as it’s always been since we tamed the first pet animal. No need for fancy stuff
I feel like the chemo would only be to prolong their life for the benefit of the owners and not of the animal.

I too only value people, animals, and things, for the monetary returns they bring in.
No wait, that’s not true, because I’m not a fucking psychopath.

You sound like a slave stockpiling brownie points with your master instead of realizing the yoke around your neck.
Enjoy that. I guess.

Some people love their pets. Sounds like you just can’t understand that.
The absurdity here is you feel the need to express an unwanted opinion about the way someone else spends their money.

No, they have more money than you. If someone can afford to pamper their pet, why shouldn’t they?

You should probably work on your grammar if you’re going to insult other people’s intelligence.

It’s absurd how some people think animals should only be exploited for making money

Yeah and if the current pet has to go to the next life, just adopt another and treat them well too. Life comes and goes.
