I have 5 dogs and all have pet insurance. The reason being that we had two yorkies who were 7 yrs old and decided to get two Staffordshire pups. I thought it would be best to have some insurance for the pups incase something went wrong when they were young . at this point none of them were insured. I took out insurance for the pups and Sadly a couple of months later Bailey slipped his older and ran into the road, he was hit by a car. We took him I the vet who tried to save him but he died at 4 months old. The insurance paid for everything. I then decided to insure all 3 dogs. 2 years later Mitzi one of the 9 yrs yorkies developed diabetes she was in the hospital on 24hr care for 3 weeks at a cost of around £5000 her treatment since that time, she is now almost 14 has cost at least this much again. Her sister Morgan around the same time developed a hole in the heart, she sadly died 2years ago. Again the insurance covered all costs. If I had not had this we would not have afforded the treatment they were given and our choices for them may have been very different. I now have 2 yorkie pups , 2Staffordshires 7 and 9 yrs and an old girl yorkie almost 14 yrs. I insure them all as Im afraid even with a savings account I might not have enough for major treatment. They are insured for up to £12,0000 per accident or illness this is for a year and renews every year for the lifetime of the dog. It gives me peace of mind.
