Vet bills can be expensive


Best to shop around. In my area there is a significant price difference between vets that are about 20 minutes away from each other.

Used to have pet insurance for the family Lhasa Apso but the monthly premiums would rise considerably on each yearly anniversary so now we salt away £30 into a savings account each month in preparation for whatever, whenever.

Good idea Jim. :yep:
@ Platapus, the nearest vet is about 45mns (50km) away from us, we don't have much choice here. :doh:

Pet insurance is not always the best choice, depending on a person's finances and location. Self-insuring the way you do it may be the wisest choice. One option is to have pet insurance that only covers catastrophic (or dogastrophic) surgeries, which should be relatively inexpensive and self-insure for the more routine things.




Yikes! That's quite the change from where I live. It seems there is a vet clinic every mile or so.
