Working Accidents

[weasle 1,119]

Accidents can happen thats for sure,but i know for sure that if i had insurance over the years,i would be out of pocket by a substantial amount,that prob ally depends on the vet you use, a country vet or better still a grey hound vet,will only do whats needed to fix the problem,pet vets see pounds.I have been to the vets on sundays having a dog stitched,course of antibiotics,and drip for a couple of hours,and paid not even half price,of a pet person taking there dog to get worm and flea dose.

I think regardless of working ,Lurchers all run flat out and have a natural instinct to chase causing injuries so insurance is a must!.........

 

If I dog breaks it's neck, is hit at speed by a car or smashes it's leg beyond repair, you can have all the insurance you like, it's going to to bugger all to save the dog!

 

As I said 'causing injuries', death is a non-refundable claim dry bread........

Injuries can be horrible, upsetting and stomach churning but when a dog is chashing around the countryside at 35mph an injury is always just around the corner. Not nice but thats the reality im afraid.
