I am new to dog owning. Have a 4 month old miniature poodle.
I have been looking at increasing our insurance amount as I only took out for £1000 per condition (lifetime). I want to increase the amount per condition - no reason other than dog people have said it’s not that much really.
I have spoken to animal friends who I am with and they said I can do that but would have to close the current policy and start a new one but with a 14 day grace period.
I just went to his monthly puppy check/worming appointment and mentioned that in the evenings his poo is a bit loose. It’s fine in the mornings. The nurse wasn’t concerned and just said he looks very healthy and is a healthy weight. She said to try just feeding his main food for a week without treats to see if that helps. If that didn’t make a different to come in and see the vet.
But now will that go down as a ‘pre existing condition’ that the insurance can use to wriggle out of paying with if anything comes of it.
It was just a general casual chat amongst other things. And she did say it’s probably that he’s eating something he shouldn’t in the day.
What would you more experienced dog owners suggest I do?
Have I buggered things up?!
