The insurance for pets, have all different plans to pick from. We had one until this year for our Bull Terrier. With $30,000.00 in vet bills over the first 5 years of having her, the insurance helped out, but out of that amount, they didn't even pay 10,000 of it. Also, there are stipulations of course. I don't think there is any insurance other then for dog and cat. But, I never looked into it.
Yep, it is the same thing.
Wow, 95 bucks just for a visit. That's insane. I know prices very from region to region. Even in my little town there's one clinic that costs 30 to 50% more than all the others. Even there on call after hours emergency bill is 50 bucks more than anybody else in town. I was told it is because they offer services or have training that other vets don't. They even charge of $40 "new pt" charge.
Wow, that's one expensive dog. In a case like that I would end up being one of those owners that just couldn't pay. I spend a lot of money on my animals but that is in a different league. I'm sorry your dog had so many problems.
I think that short term loan idea is troublesome in itself. Most of the people that are going to do it or not going to have either the responsibility or the means to ever pay it off. We are a society that wants what we want when we want it which is now.
I'm hoping the vet for your tortoises comes out to your place. Or do you have to load up the horse trailer?
I didn't realize the vet was so far away. I guess he better come out for more than just one tortoise maybe.
Well true, none is definitely better than any. But stuff happens. That is one dedicated vet to drive five hours. I would think there'd be more exotic animal vets down there, there are so many reptiles down there compared to my neck of the woods. But you have to trust the vet you have that's important. Are you preparing for the storm they're predicting down there? Is it supposed to hit your area?
