Pet Shop Haven

Pet insurance can actually be very important for many reasons as our house has just recently found out. We have actually had our retriever for many years now and he doesnt seem to have had that many problems which is always good, he has had a skin condition that is rather common with a retriever but other than that nothing.

Over a period of a few weeks his eye was weeping a lot and a black lump had formed over the eye which he didnt mind but it didnt look right. It didn’t seem to bother him or irritate him in anyway at all however it would seem that because we have to keep wiping it that it was starting to get to him which is why we thought we had better take him to the vet. the first time we took him they said he was fine but he would need to come back after we had used some eye drops on him.

Once we took him back they said that they would need to do a small operation on the eye to make sure it stayed away. Then the cost came £300. Although this doesnt sound likea very big bill around the Chrisrtmas season it can be quite hard to pay out for and I have to say I was a bit shocked. All I can say is that we were very lucky we had some pet insurance as we were going to cancel it a couple of months back because it looked like we were never going to need it.

So it just goes to show that you may need insurance when you don’t think you do. You can even get things like puppy insurance which of course are based around the younger dogs.

If you are thinking about going away to a colder climate this year then make sure you do not forget your ski insurance.
