Pet Insurance

Yes, I do. For both my cat & my dog.

Monthly costs are, for Ebby, (cat) £7.35 (around 14 USD) and for Bob (dog) £11.85 (around 23 USD). The excess for both is something like £60.
It may seem a lot and that I may be better putting the money aside each month but I don't see it that way. If something major happens would cost thousands, a minor thing hundreds, - the surgery Ebby had on her tail a while ago cost over £100 - money I don't have.

Plus it covers lost pet advertising expenses, also boarding fees should I have to go into hospital.

The insurance I have will not cover illness that could have been prevented by the annual vaccinations but does cover all other accident & illness. I checked that out because I haven't had Ebby vaccinated since I had her and Bob is nearly a year overdue for his.
