| He is doing ALOT better. I just gave him his 3rd dosage. He has to take it 2 times a day along with benedrill. I can already see him not bowing his nose or sneezing as much. He never got bad tho...even with it he was playing fine eating fine and was totally normal I just knew he had a cold for a week and it was not going away but he is bring treated and looks like he will be ok. The vet said he could of just caught it from anywhere. So for the insurance you have to pre pay it then send something in to get your money back?? Thats rediculous!! Wow I cant believe that. What do you think would be my best bet with all that insurance stuff with him. My vet told me I should def get it. |

If you choose to go the insurance route. Do a lot of research. There are some that will cover genetic disease. But, in order to do so it is something that would crop up after a pup has had a physical. If your deciplined you just might put away money in an emergency account for those emergencies.

another friend of mine has 6 dogs and she has spent over 50k in vet bills and she put them all on Pet health insurance for your dog or cat, from a name you can trust - 24PetWatch Pet Insurance and she has been very happy but they will not cover pre-existing though make sure to ask if they will not cover things specific to breed as i looked into it 4 years ago after spending alot when dex had pancreatitis and vpi told me they do not cover things in the akc and vet medical journal that are tied to a breed so they may not have covered pancreatitis anyway and why i opted out of getting insurance so not sure they are the best to deal with be the top two my two friends are very happy with. GME is very expensive to treat as they have to work with neurologist and they get mri and spinal taps which are expensive and she said hey are covering the majority of the bills and she is the director of respiratory therapy at our near by hospital so she knows alot about health care etc. and swears by that one | |

Now, I understand that some aren't as disciplined in setting aside that money, so insurance would be the better way to go, that and having a whole seperate credit card set aside to cover the upfront costs.

I ended up getting the CareCredit Healthcare Finance - Payment Plans and Financing for Cosmetic Surgery, Dental, Vision, Hearing, Veterinary & Other Medical Procedures one to float the money longer but i guess not everyone can get that one but i would encourage everyone to try although some vets and specialists do not allow it which is a bummer. The reason they do not is because i found out the vet has to pay the interest for the year or so you do not pay the interest so they do not want to do this for their clients. So far only the dog dentist will accept it - one vet did but he was the one that messed up my dd on that metacam steroid combo so will never go back to him but he charges outragious prices probably to cover the interest lolll | |
