Does everyone have it?
I’ve always had pet insurance for the cats and dog. The dog is 5. A golden retriever. She’s never been ill.
Last week she had haemorrhagic gastro-enteritis. The vet said she’d probably eaten “something” on one of her wild walks and it hadn’t agreed with her, big time. She stayed overnight at the vets and had IV antibiotics with an antacid. The bill came to £788. I was very relieved to have the insurance.
However, our dog insurance is expensive. £62 per month. I can’t afford it. It’s gone up from £544 to £788 in a year BEFORE this illness. God knows what it’ll be next year.
I wonder whether to do what my sister and neighbour do. They put the money aside each month. Does anyone else do this?
