This is it. How can an owner of multiple pets be surprised at the cost? Our much loved hairy kid died earlier this year, at the same age as Adrian Mole when he kept his first diary. We insured him straight away as a pup and had many years when the only vet visit was for jabs, however, early days saw a multi-day stay for eating raisins and double cherry eye surgeries. Then there was necessary anal gland removal (praise be), periodic times he’d twist something or other on a walk and need anti-inflammatories, then the horrible weird thing that took him
with its old age companion of Cushing’s Disease (£200 pcm for meds alone), plus saying goodbye. Alongside we’ve had 3, 2, 1, 2, 1 cats with cat stuff. Petplan have had over twenty years of seeing a whole load of our money and I reckon we’ve seen it all back again. Had we not, no matter, we’ve never had to pay more than the excess for any treatment.
However, guest does have the money to pay and insurance is a choice. Just don’t act surprised at what are pretty standard vet charges or it makes you seem like an irresponsible owner who avoids taking their pet for care when they are under the weather.
