Just some info on Banfield -- this is not pet insurance. It is a wellness plan and it is definitely worth every penny. I used to go to the vet with my pups for shots every year and it would cost me over $300 (x4) between the exam, shots, fecal test, heartworm test... If one of them got sick, it would always run $150+ and that wouldn't even include medicine. I was generally spending $3,000+ (I do have 4 Yorkies) per year since 2 have intestinal problems.

I now take them to Banfield Vet @ Petsmart and couldn't be happier. The vet is wonderful, the techs are wonderful and I save $$$. It costs me $360/year per dog but that includes, unlimited office visits, all their shots, 2 full exams each year, heartworm and fecal tests 2x a year, discount of medication AND TEETH CLEANING! (I was paying over $300 just for the teeth alone!)

There are actually 4 levels of wellness to choose from and you can pay monthly. It couldn't be easier and last year I saved over $4,700. I definitely recommend Banfield. (Now don't you think they should pay me for this! LOL)
