Do you still have pet insurance?

We are entitled to PDSA treatment, with our first dog 6 years ago we were not, our insurance was £4.50 pm.

I now cannot find a quote for under £20pm (we have 2 dogs too)

Do the PDSA get paid from insurers like private vets?

Or would it either be

a - get insurance & use private vets,

b - use PDSA?

We have been taking the dogs to the private vets upto now (cost over £100 uptonow for injections, worming, flea treatment and a headbump) and add another £80 in 2 weeks for 2nd injections and microchipping for both.

Obviously this is what it costs to get the puppies off to a good start in life and am happy to pay it but am more wondering over accidents / illnesses etc ...

TIA

Remember also insurance covers other things such as if your dog bites someone (God forbid)

Your insurance documents should tell you what you are covered for and how much hun xx

With dogs it's a good idea to insure them for liability purposes. If your dog runs into a road and causes an accident, legally you are responsible and so should get liability cover.
