I think my vet is absolutely the best in the area. He had done things for me and my dogs that go way beyond the vet /client relationship. I also have referred so many dog owners to him. His practice is growing ...
But one must always have a plan B ... I have been at the emergency hospital a couple times... uhhhhhmmm way up high on prices and : "no money ... no treatments... "
This thread is one of the best here. Some people do carry insurnce , but forget that at the emergency vets , you must PAY FIRST, then submit it to your insurance, than get reimbursed...
So basically insurance it is only as good as your savings account or credit card limit is in case of an emergency !
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy, awesome new year !!!!
Blessings to everyone !

My vets are wonderful about payment plans, doing extra services for no charge, etc., too. Unfortunately, Lady loves to get sick on weekends and holidays. She had HGE three times in four months ..... once on Memorial Day and once over Labor Day weekend!
You absolutely have to be financially prepared for an after hours emergency with pets.
