Having the insurance gives me some peace of mind. My DH passed last year cutting my income in half, my DD has a chronic disease that has run her medical bills into the thousands just the past 3 months. Even with insurance she can't afford the balance so I help her. No I didn't expect any of the above to happen when I got 3 yorkies. Having the safety net of pet insurance is great peace of mind. |
I too had VPI on all four of my Yorkies but have had to drop them as they continued to get more expensive each year and cutting back on coverage (which they said it was because my dogs were getting older). They just didn't want to have to pay the medical costs. Insurance is good to have but be careful of the company. One of my babies had a congenital defect and it cost me thousands to have it taken care of and she still has the chance of being in a wheel chair if she loses her other hind leg. This is a really sad thread because I know how it feels to be in such a desperate position and you feel like you are grasping at anything to hold onto. I pray for Jazi too and that she will be a healthy and happy girl.
