Insurance

[bryson 562]

Just read a quite sad thread about a couple of lads dogs both getting injured one worse than the other and its going to cost him a good few quid does any one with running dogs have insurance on their dogs or do you just wait till the inevitable happens

Thats why vets are so fooking expensive now!

Ever since this pet insurance pish started they just charge what they want, If you havnt got insurance they pull ur pants down and bumb you.

My dog had stitches yesterday, £112. So I came home and had a look on the net for pet insurance. Tesco came up £9 a month with £60 excess. I suppose this way the most you will pay is £60 for each injury. About 3/4 years ago my old dog had a £380 bill. I wish he had been insured!

[jarv5116 57]

yeah thats what im saying £110 for couple stiches! bit of a piss take. £110 for bit needle and thread and 15 mins of vets time.

[jarv5116 57]

yeah £9 a month sounds ok but x that by 12 is £118 a year, plus your £60 excess then ur into £178 for a year if your dog gets an injury. is it worth it?

I am thinking about it, think you can get it for around a £5 a month, in my quote i just put beddy cross in and left out the whip/greyhound bit seems to keep the price down,excess £60.

Trust me get it just got my bull x done £7 a month and my mates greyhound that's with me £11 a month and it's worth it as I spent £900 on one of the dogs with a broken leg and when the bulls was bit younger about £350/400 on cuts and rips in 6/7 months so I didn't take mine out this season till they were insured

Just got a quote from Tesco Pet insurance - 8.52 a month for standard cover or 13.58 for 'extra' cover - seems like small change compared to a couple of hundred quid for a simple procedure, i think i may get myself some cover

Got both my dogs insured with Argos

[NickF 50]

Mines insured, does it cover working injuries normally? TBH Ive never read the policy

[martinhalli 735]

after reading this topic i've just insured my dog, £8.68 a month with argos and thats with saying shes a lurcher.

shes already cost me £450 in the last 12 month so money well spent i think

Just got my pup insured earlier with direct line for a tenner a month, I find it's best to go with a big company like direct line as the vets will go ahead with whatever's up knowing they'll get payed as the bigger company's cover for everything and pay up quicker.

Defo worth getting just got back from vets with my young bitch that broke her leg and she's gonna have to have the pin taken out of her femur god knows how much that's gonna cost on top of the 900 that it took to put in. So if you thinking of getting GET it ASAP
