I have just had my two small dogs [12lb and 14lb] go for dental and came out £139.00 worse off....Big gulp. We save the amount that it would cost in insurance, every month in a building society.We had to do this in the days when we had 8 dogs, and the insurance would have been a silly amount. Now we have enough for them and us I think. if need be LOL. As you can see we had fairly healthy dogs !! Wendy Even worse round this way.

She was a 4year old rescue moggy and we took out M and S isurance for her £4 per month, as she was young I thought she would probabley never need it, but boy was I wrong. She developed breathing problems and it turned out that she had a heart condition that required surgery and follow on medication for the rest of her life, £1300 well I cannot fault the insurance they paid up instantly and even paid for the cremation and the cost of her when we bought her (as you can tell she died ime sad to say) But I had no problems with them at all they are excellent all we had to pay the vet was the first £50. All of our rescue greyhounds are insured as well at £8.00 per month. Your site is very good I really enjoy reading it as we have just moved to the country after years of pondering over whether or not to make the move. Glad that we did its beautiful. Have a look at Marks and Spencer website they are really excellent and offer discounted rates for paying over the net. Good luck Sue Thought as you mentioned about pet insurance you might like to know about my daughters cat.

However, in his final weeks, the vet bills were horrendous and each visit (about every 2-3 weeks over a 3 month stretch) was an instant £25 consultation fee and I would be walking out with 2 lots of pills and possibly a cream giving an average bill of £75 on each visit, with no actual guarantee that he would get better, and to come back if the pills didn't work! I think you did well on this occassion! I’d had my cat just over 16 years and during that period he had but 2 lots of dental trouble and nothing else.
