Major issue on yorkies is their knees and no insurance seems to cover that |
I have the same opinion when it comes to insurance for the pups. It sounds like they deny a lot, and the majority of people don't get much out of it. We have a carecredit account, credit card and savings for the dogs should something happen. They would not go without vet care because we can afford it.
However, I wanted to correct you... While LP seems to be a huge issue with yorkies, there are a lot more things that can happen that will cost a LOT more. My friend had a yorkie mix that was run over by a truck. Thankfully, she survived... But she lived at the local university vet hospital for a couple months while they put her back together... It cost my friend over 8k. I don't know if insurance would cover this, but it is something that would be a LOT bigger issue than LP. BTW, my friend paid for this using Carecredit and her dog is again a healthy happy girl
