How much is that doggy in the window really going to cost me?

    I have not invested in pet insurance either. I asked my veterinarian about it, and he said that when it comes to older dogs with health problems (like mine), that it really doesn’t cover much.

    Thanks, Zipporah. That is what I am finding out as I do more research. I found some information on http://www.petinsurancereview.com/ Thankfully my husband and I are on the same page when it comes to spending money on our pets’ health care.

    Insurance was one of the first things I purchased when I got my puppy and I researched my butt off to make sure I had it in time for her spay. The time came and they denied the request and other things. I felt like I was scammed and ended up receiving my money back. Now, about a year later my dog ate raisins and a few months after that she almost died after an allergic reaction to a vaccine. I would’ve loved to have insurance to cover these issues but I truly don’t know if it would have helped in the long run if they didn’t cover it.

    I don’t have a dog, but I do have a cat. He’s almost 7 years old, but unfortunately, he developed kidney issues even at his young age. What does that mean for us? Well, it means that 3 times a week we have to give him an IV with fluids to keep his organs functioning correctly. I love that little dude and right now, we can still afford his medication, but it’s expensive! We’re spending at least $150-$250 every month or two for all the stuff he needs. Pets are a major commitment and responsibility, but they’re so worth it. I’ve never had pet insurance, but I definitely think it’s worth looking into. Best of luck with your pups!

    Kayla, you are right the commitment is huge – so is the love! I am glad that they can treat your cat. I am not sure that I could handle setting up an IV once, let alone three times a week. You are amazing, and your kitty is lucky to have you!
