So yes it is well worth getting them insured. I see your from Blackwood had much joy this season yet? Which Vets do you use? I use Budget Vets in your town, they have been superb.

dh90 6 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Someone else maybe able to tell you better but if you've got 3 lurchers, could you not just get one insured and use it for all three? When i got mine insured all they asked for was the breed and age. Once one has been took to the vets and had something done that can be checked maybe you will need another policy but until then i would think you could get away with one between them.

Briliiant idea and while your at it why not dress up like Dick Turpin and go and hold up the No7 bus Insurance companies will need age breed sex colour and micro chip number and info on current conditions and previous treatment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I can give you one tip stay away from barbed wire fences, I know it's difficult because they are everywhere in the countryside around us. Yes am from Caerphilly area.

Barbed wire fence? read the small print carefully.....many of them will not allow you to calim for an illness or ongoing treatment the next year after you have claimed I use petplan and they are 1st class. As for the tw*at who suggested insurance fraud.......thanks....thats the sort of moronic behaviour that gets the premiums put up for the rest of us :censored: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
