Insurance does give some people peace of mind and that okay, we all handle our finances differently. Vet fees can easily run into thousands not just hundreds depending on the medical problem.

I must admit I have been looking at insurance simply because some policies cover a lot more than just vets fees and in todays trend to sue everyone for anaything its worth taking a serious look at insurance.

I completely agree! The extras are very attractive but… I was amazed to discover that insuring a bulldog with the kennel club (and admittedly it was the top policy) was around £750 a year! Is this representative of other breeds? If your dog is healthy for say the first 5 years of its life it could be an expensive premium for piece of mind.
