Cagney and Tazzie
My husband and I recently adopted Cagney, who came to us after sustaining an ACL injury (knee blow out!). That’s him in the picture – isn’t he cute with his little stuffed monkey? I love him to pieces 🙂
Just three months prior, we lost our 14 year old mini doxy, Taz. I adopted Taz from a shelter six and a half years earlier, and in that time frame I spent more than $20,000 on medical bills for her. You read that right – $20,000!
She had one major health issue after another, and although I don’t regret going into huge debt to give her the medical care she needed (I loved her immensely), I certainly wish I had purchased a pet insurance policy for her before any of those things happened! (That’s her in the laundry basket – the clothes were warm from the dryer so she jumped in – who could resist?)

Don’t Risk Your Pet’s Health – Or Your Pocketbook!
Pet Health Insurance really can be quite affordable. And when you consider what happened to me with little Taz, I think you’d agree it’s too risky not to have it.

Hi there, thanks for your very helpful article. I read your story, I’m the same with my current dog Frank, he has had plenty of problems that I’ve had to fork out hundreds on him but it’s with it because he’s my best friend!
But seeing this I’ve realised it would be much easier and more money saving getting together pet insurance, so I will definitely check these schemes out, so thank you for showing me them!
Thanks, Dan.
