For people who've bought from pet stores and iffy breeders and who are on a tight budget, insurance might be a good choice. Some people have said it varies so much by company, and their plan didn't pay for needed services, or limited their choices of vets. Another option is a special credit card that can be used for vet services, and no interest rates for 18 months. Credit Care is the name of the company, but not everyone can get a card there, your credit history has to be pretty good. CareCredit Veterinary Financing for Pet Care, Pet Surgery, Vaccinations & Other Veterinary Medicine Procedures
I agree. Make sure if you do get insurance to get a company that will cover genetic diseases, most will not. Such as if you get the puppy plan from Banfield, it only covers shots, spay/neuter, etc, does not cover broken legs etc. Other insurances will cover broken legs other accident stuff, but not genetic disorders such as surgery for luxating patella, liver shunts, etc each company if different.

You have to have pretty good credit for a care credit card? I got one! HAHAHAHA!!!
