Default Ageing Pets and self insurance

If you've read my earlier post, you could say I've been a tad unlucky in that with young dogs I have actually had 2 conditions (expensive ones) pop up in the first 3-4 yrs of life. Neither condition was genetic.

But here is what I want to talk about. If we are lucky enough to have our dogs live to a ripe old age, ageing itself will/can bring other health issues. Senility and meds for same, is an example. Decreased kidney function, eye disease and other types of things.

So when you plan that savings for your pet, as your dog ages healthily and the balance builds up, keep it there and building. Then you have it when and if you need it for your senior dog. If your dog passes peacefully without needing it or all of it, then you have a lovely savings account for your next pup!.
