The cost of the plan is essentially paid for with the gain I'll have on the wellness package. So the $95/ year per dog drops to $89 for two dogs this year and then next year it will pay for itself when i choose the wellness plus. I have savings and access to credit, and really wanted it for bills over $1,000 a year. I'm using the term catastrophic but the policy covers genetic and breed issues, illness, accidents unless pre-existing condition. This means most things are out for teddy like epilepsy or his ortho issues but Winston will only have a patellar luxation which is a grade 1 anyway and unlikely to ever need surgery.

Thanks Kathy.
