I'll bet you had to re-mortgage the house to pay the vet bills, poohbear...lol On the subject of vet bills................I would be very interested on the thoughts of fellow Nottstalgians on the subject of pet insurance and the benefits, if any, as well as costs and the coverage afforded.

Never thought pet insurance was worth it here in the USA anyway. Can't speak for other places. Seemed like it would pay for the repairs if the dog was injured in some kind of accident. The routine stuff, vaccinations, routine exams, tooth cleaning etc. You pay for. On my fourth dog now, three year old Beagle, and I do not think the cost of insurance would have been worth it.

denshaw 2,877 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I used to have pet insurance with pet plan, they would only pay 90% of the vets bill after £60 excess. They put the monthly fee up to £89 per month when the dog was 7 years old. Goodbye pet plan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thing I find obscene is that they charge you 20% VAT for having the pleasure of having a member of your family killed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 We are five hours behind the UK. Just trying to get my day started here. Hope you got some sleep and that there is some improvement today. Give 'em a dog biscuit from a fellow dog lover. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Insurance is something that everyone resents paying, until they have a problem. When it comes to 'pet insurance' then it's something that you really need because the vets bills are so extortionate. My last three dogs have been Old English Sheepdogs and the first two lived to a real good age. Hopefully, my present dog will, too. When they've needed the vets, especially when they got older, then you are thankful for your pet insurance. If you are a dog lover then they become part of the family and are treated accordingly.
