While dog health insurance is not as common as human health insurance, it is certainly gaining popularity due to the increasing costs of veterinarian care and the medical procedures that are now available to in the animal health industry.
So what are the pros of buying dog health insurance?
1. Dog health insurance can save you a lot of money if your dog needs surgery (sometimes due to an accident) or treatment for a serious disease. For instance:
Cost of surgery due to injury ($1000 to $2000)
Cancer treatment ($5000)
MRI’s and CAT Scans (approximately $1000)
Hospitalization (Prices vary widely but hospitalization is not cheap)
These are unexpected expenses that you may have to face if you want to keep your dog alive. Many pet parents very often end up choosing between a very expensive treatment or euthanasia and often are forced to put their beloved companions to sleep because they can not afford the cost of the treatments. If your dog is covered by health insurance, you could avoid hard decisions like these.
2. By spending anywhere from $10 to $50 a month in premiums a large amount of these expenses will be covered by dog health insurance.
3. Veterinary care keeps getting more expensive. A good policy will help you cover some of the costs.
4. Most policies will cover recovery costs if your pet gets lost.
What are the cons of dog health insurance?
1. Very often pre-existing conditions are not covered. The best thing is to get insurance when your dog is young.
2. Premiums usually increase as your dog gets old. In fact some insurers will drop you when you dog gets to a certain age while others will insure your dog for life, so always read the fine print.
3. Policies may have spending limits. Some policies will have limits per year, others will set limits per incident.
Since not all companies offer the same value, it is advisable to do a little research before jumping into a plan.
Some companies will give you a 30 money back guarantee as long as you don’t put any claims in the 30 day period.
On the long run, dog insurance will give you peace of mind. And remember: you get what you pay for. Cheap dog insurance may end up being expensive. Do not jump into just any policy because it is cheap. Do you homework and get insurance that you can afford, and will cover your pet care needs.
I am a dog parent and pride myself on my knowledge of canine health and disorders. I have had dogs with hypothyroidism and cancer and many other illesses in between. However, I have been doing alot of research and have been talking with my vet, and it seems that it is being discovered that some vaccines might actually be harmful to dogs. I am not at all saying not to get your dogs vaccinated, as I get my dogs vaccinated every single year. I am just wondering which ones are absolutely necessary. I have read that it all depends on where the dog lives, but I can’t seem to decide which ones to eliminate. Will I really be harming my dog if I continue to give him all of the vaccinations? I don ‘t want him acquring autoimmune disorders, but I also don’t want him to get a disease that I could have prevented.
Serious answers only please.
Good question. I have had a number of dogs have varying reactions to vaccines at the injection point. Some breeds have warnings not to mix vaccines together.
You can look into vaccine titer tests which shows how your dog has maintained antibodies. It isn’t perfect but it gives you more information. You may not have a choice in vaccines such as for rabies as you have to have that in most (maybe all) places.

I also think it’s worth looking into those monthly flea/tick treatments. IMO, unless your dog has fleas and is out in the woods in tick-infested areas, I would stop using them.
None of my dogs (or cats) ever used them and they’ve never had more than a flea or tick or two on them.

Dog’s fur and dog’s odour. What harm or health hazard can these do especially to young kids.?
Neighbour had 2 big dogs – husky and Laborador. Dogs odour so unbearable that my neighbour’s and my kid have vomitted. Dogs’ furs flying around. Children are on nasal spray, nasal puff, medication etc and it has already been 2 over months and children doesn’t seem to recover. Maid also breaks out into rashes due to allergy to dogs.
We are staying in a condo. The neighbour kept her dogs in her studio apartment which is just next to our unit. Her dogs are kept in the apartment with all windows closed except for an opening in the yard. Dogs’ odour are coming mainly from the yard and her surrounding unit. Dogs fur are stuck on her doormat, shoe rack placed outside her door, shoes etc… and flying all around. Neighbour denied that odour is from her dogs. Our children and maid do not have these problems until she moved in (sometimes in late December 2005).
I would report the neighbors for neglect. They obviously are not taking care of the animals if they smell that bad. Are the dogs coming into your yard? I don’t see how your family is reacting if they are not near the dogs. I would call animal control and report them.
