Vet bills...

[Glacier]

Well Glacier, HOW many dogs do you have?

23

:You must be a gold-card vet customer! Plus, seems like some your pups have ongoing problems, not to mention those little spats that ended up with major stitches!

I am well known at the clinic. You do get great service when you have lots of critters! Four of the dogs need medication daily(Goldie's pain pills, Earle & Preacher's thyroid meds, Muskwa gets zinc)

:and now Stuart's all banged up- *sigh* I'll bet his will cost a bit more than a trip to the vets, too!

Nah, Stuart's cheap(except for the lost wages)--All covered by the Territorial health care program, except for his medications, which are covered by my work benefit plan. I wish I could get the dogs on my work insurance! I've looked into insurance for them, but a plan to cover all of them for the emergency issues is a ridiculous price! I have a vet savings account and a credit card that is reserved for vet expenses instead.

Wow, that's really nice! my husband almost cut his thumb off (lawnmower blade got him) last year, it ended being a bundle, even with his health benefits!

Tis one of the benefits of being Canadian--national health care. Sometimes wait lists are a problem and up here distance can be an issue(hard to get to a specialist in a hurry), but at least paying a huge bill is never a worry.
