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  |
I considered pet insurance for Georgie but never got it. I really don't think it would have covered his luxating patella surgery or his surgery for Atlanto-axial luxation as both would probably be considered pre-existing. We decided to pay out of pocket for the luxating patella surgery and use care credit for the AAL surgery which cost 6k (not including the initial visit and vet visits prior to). You can't go wrong with 6 months interest free using care credit.
