| HELLO ALL--Several QUESTIONS Hello All This is my first post, I recently became the Mom to Melot (pronounced MEE-lo) Nov1 and have soo many questions about my new family member . I am so glad there is a site ****************!!! Here we go...... 1. Pet Insurance? I saw the Poll, just really need to know is it worth it? This is the first I have heard of it, as my parents never had it. Please help 2. How do you get your avitars to move and change pics? I love having the name flash in between pics. 3. I am trying the Ear Tape trick (on 2-3day then change tape), does anyone know how many tries before deemed unsuccessful? 4. Food-My vet says any premium food is fine, but I have heard Innovo was rated best food analysis link, any ideas? (currently on puppy Eukanuba and Royal canin) Thank You All!! That is all for |

| First of all WELCOME to you and to Melot!!! You sure came to the best Yorkie site! Let's see if I'm any help at all with your questions. See the Blue answers. You might want to do a search for the topics since they have been discussed many times and with lots of responses. 1. Pet Insurance? I saw the Poll, just really need to know is it worth it? This is the first I have heard of it, as my parents never had it. Please help Absolutely! For about $25.00 a month Veterinary Pet Insurance covers just about everything. Basically you pay the vet bill and file a claim. A few weeks later you get a check for about 40% to 70% (depends on what was done). It's a huge comfort to know you have help if there is a big unexpected expense for injuries or illnesses. Check out www.petinsurance.com. Just like your car, home, medical, and life insurance for yourself, this is a just in case investment. My little Jewel was very sick for a year the bills were in the thousands. The MRI & spinal tap alone was almost $2,000 plus Emergency care and more. We got about an average of 70% back. 2. How do you get your avitars to move and change pics? I love having the name flash in between pics. Do you have Adobe Photoshop? If not there are several people here on YT that will make one for you. 3. I am trying the Ear Tape trick (on 2-3day then change tape), does anyone know how many tries before deemed unsuccessful? I didn't have to tape the ears, just trimming the hair off did the trick for both Jazzie & Jewel (thank goodness!). 4. Food-My vet says any premium food is fine, but I have heard Innovo was rated best food analysis link, any ideas? (currently on puppy Eukanuba and Royal canin) I have Jazzie on Natural Balance Potato & Duck. Flint River Ranch is another great product but it's strictly mail order. They are both made of human grade ingrediants and does not include any corn or wheat which many of our babies are allergic to. Good luck with the ears! Corinne Quote:

| Welcome to YT! The tape and shaving the ears should work, I'm assuming it's a puppy. Over 6 months, if they're down they tend to stay that way. |

| Hi & welcome! Looks like your questions got pretty good answers. I'm going to check into pet insurance also (Dan & Corinne) thanks for the web site. I got help on the avitar, I couldn't do it. This is the best site I have ever found on furbabies. I have learned so much from all the loving mommy's & daddy's. I don't have a full Yorkie, but Piper my morkie is so much more like a yorkie than a maltese. This site has helped me a hundred times on questions. |
