| Is this worth it??? My vet that I was referred to got me to sign up for this. Is it worth it? I'm a new puppy owner. (Yorkie) They got me to sign up for the $59/month plan. |

| I have healthy paws, they don't cover routine visits or shots but they cover all major illnesses and injuries. They reimbursed me 80% and it cost 46.00 a month. |

| I did a puppy package at my vet and it was $300.00 for all the puppy shots, 20% off heartworm meds, flea and tick meds and neuter. It include all the vet visits for the vaccines as well. Then I went to healthy paws a got there pet insurance.

| I'm sure you can get out of it if you just tell them the spay neuter prices are fantastic. I'd certainly hang onto this and check my future bills after you opt out |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Well....it really depends. You DO NOT need all of those non-core vaccines - please do not let them talk to you into over-vaccinating your pet. See this thread for more guidance: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-overview.html As far as their highest plan -- what you really need to do to evaluate it, is to look at what you really will *need* from that list. My estimate from that list is that you'll need to spend about $400-500, give or take to really get what you need this first year here. Don't buy heartworm from them, you can get it much more reasonably elsewhere -- and as long as you're perfect at giving it *every* single month, you really don't need to force yourself to rely on the heartworm meds from the big pharma companies who try to persuade you that you MUST get their stuff in order to be "covered" if your kiddo ever does contract heartworm (rolling my eyes here).

| I would still get a pet insurance it really helps with the health issues yorkies are prone to.
