My dear Yorkie owners new to this Forum This is an appeal to you to get pet insurance for your Yorkie or your Yorkie mix, now prior to an emergency happening.
Why you ask? Well one of the most distressing things we read here time after time are sick Yorkies whose owners do not have the financial wherewithal to care for a sick pup. Just go to the Sick and Emergency forum to see all the threads on this.
This is not a pain you want to suffer - to have as your only recourse PTS your beloved dog due to a simple lack of financial funds.
Look at the top Health concerns for Yorkies, which shares some very broad brush strokes on costs of certain health conditions.

Now some of you will think that well if I put $X into savings every month without fail, then I will have my kitty put aside just in case of an issue.
But what if there are two or three conditions or emergencies will you truly have the resources to meet them? And then what? Your kitty is at zero, how will you save $$$ for their senior years when health problems are also likely to occur?
These are sobering thoughts that an informed potential pet owner should consider very seriously before embarking on the joy and the (pain) of owning a Yorkie.
