I don't want anyone to misunderstand my stance on this. When given the choice of between rescue through shelter/reputable rescue organization or purchasing through website/petshop/questionable breeder, etc, I will always choose rescue. Without reputable breeders, yes we wouldn't have quality dogs, but without the bad breeders we wouldn't have a whole slew of problems.

She has been sending me photos of the girl and the boy almost every other day. She said the dogs are so lucky to be going to a home like mine. I pray they will be healthy. Loosing my Yorking was very hard on me. Don't want to go through that again. My Vet has a program where I pay $400.00 per dog and for two years EVERYTHING is covered. Everything! I am trying to think, do I really think I will spend 800 dollars in the next 2 years on these babies. What do you think. |
Is that like the plan from Banfield/Petsmart? I know from Banfield not everything is covered. It's just for shots and spay/neuter. For instance if the pup breaks a leg, it's not covered. I agree to go with traditional insurance. Anyway, $400 for two years for two dogs is insanely cheap. There has to be a catch. Buying the dog is the cheapest part of the equation. The cost of taking care of the dog is what is expensive.

Who is Betty?
