I am using Charlies Momma's post as an example. She states she paid only $250 for him but paid dearly so far in medical costs. Does this mean that many of the Yorkie/Biewer owners here do not have pet insurance? I would think that with knowing that this breed does come with possible future health risks, pet insurance would be a good idea. Or do most of you have pet insurance and end up still paying alot of out-of-pocket expenses?
I have a Biewer I adopted from a rescue and is between 3-4 yrs old. Clean bill of health but considering pet insurance. Thats why I have the questions here within. |
I would highly recommend insurance for a rescue. He may have clean bill of health now, but you never know what will happen in the future. A life threatening congenital defect can remain hidden for some time. Personally, I think it's a good idea to have insurance on a pup from a reputable breeder as well. They could break a leg & need surgery. Insurance companies refund your payments. The amount you get reimbursed depends on your carrier & your plan. So you still need the money up front.
