I wasn't trying to be nag but when i see people ask or complain about the cost of a simple rabies vaccine it worries me. And you said you didn't want to "go for broke'. One simple vaccine cost me $20 dollars a year for 2 dogs.
So this is a new pet for you. congrats. But be well prepared for many costly visits to the vet in her lifetime.
One visit to the vet for Laynee's dental visit cost me 348 dollars. Then there's simple things like UTI's, spay/nueter, vaccine boosters, bloodwork,grooming, anal gland expressions, frontline, heartwom prevention, microchipping, etc. and if you add on the few people who have that ALONG with genetic testingfor breeding purposes, xrays, ultrasounds, antibiotics, special diet foods, whelping supplies, emergency csections, and the first 12weeks of care for an entire litter.....DOGS ARE EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!
Sometimes i just wish people would put a little more thought in BEFORE getting a pet and then afterwards realizing just how much they depend on you financially. I absolutely love my dogs more than anything. and myhusband knows this. He knows i'd sell my kidneys just to make sure I had them by my side. They will love you for life but it takes time, work, patience, and YES MONEY.
And I personally HATE pet insurance. Most of them I think is a waste of money. They always have co-pays and most ONLY cover emergencies and NOT routine care so the monthly payment would be better saved in a savings account for you to have access. IMHO

GOOD LUCK AND WELCOME
