I just got done reading a VERY informative article in one of my many dog magazines on pet insurance. And here is what I did for Bounce when I got him. I set up a bank account in my name, specifically FOR Bouncer (and my other animals as well). Every month, I add anywhere between $50-$70 to that bank account. I use that money for their shots, meds, anything. And if the event something serious happens, I've already saved money for that purpose. Think of it this way. If you get insurance and nothing ever happens to your dog, you don't ever see that money again. If you don't get insurance and something happens and you haven't saved, you're screwed. That's why I set up the account for Bounce and everyone else in my animal family. If something never happens, then that's more money I can put towards a new bed or something else or just save it for future vet costs. It's worked for me so well. Plus, I just find it a pain to pay the vet in full, then file a claim, then wait for your money to come back that the insurance covered. It's just time consuming. Anyways, hope that helps you out some. It's done very well for me to just save into an account specifically made for my pets.
