Advantages: Peace of mind Disadvantages: none so far
the best thing to do was have him castrated at the vets.
After spending money on his injections when he was younger and worming tablets and his regular check ups at the vets, she decided to buy petinsurance.
I have a car policy with Endsleigh and have been happy with them for a few years so we checked out the petinsurance with them.
It?s a costly thing to have a dog as vet fees are not cheap. The castration of a dog costs £180 at our local vets, add this to the worming tablets, regular check ups of weight and health when they are growing up and their injections and your looking at more than £ 400.
This is without including any ailments that they might have in their life to come.

Pet Plan certainly aren't the cheapest petinsurer, but they are one of the best!
The main bonus that puts them ahead of the rest is their 'cover for life'. This means that each year, following the excess payment (mine is currently £45), the animal is covered for continuing illnesses. Many insurance companies only pay out for the same disease for one year only, or up to a certain amount. If your animal is diagnosed with a long term illness, this can mean disaster with these companies, as you will shortly find yourself paying the bills even though you thought your pet was insured.
Pet Plan insure cats, dogs, horses and rabbits (there may be more that I am not aware of). You get a discount if you insure 3 animals with them. Pedigree animals are more expensive to insure than crossbreeds and Pet Plan rarely refuse to pay out ...
