Is pet health insurance in any way worth it? Does anyone have experience with it?

admin — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 00:00:36 +0000

I saw a couple of posts on here ages ago about it being a scam, and now I am curious about the subject so I thought I would ask.
I agree with needing to save up big time if you don’t have insurance. It’s been 2,000 dollars in the last 3 months. I’m cashing in savings bonds to pay!
My dog is very small but she is not a puppy anymore.

My puppy has kennel cough and is on antibotiches?

admin — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:30:11 +0000

My puppy has kennel cough and the vet prescribed antibiotics two days ago which i give her twice a day. Last night she was coughing like crazy and this morning was coughing up big amounts of phlegm. Is this good or bad? My first thought was that its all getting out of system…she is still eating, still plays but is def tired alot.

Just want to make sure the coughing up wasn’t a sign of things getting worse.

Best dog food for my adolescent puppy?

admin — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 19:12:32 +0000

I have an eight month old female samoyed, and at the moment we live in Belgium. The thing is, the only food that I can find here is normal pet shop dog food such as Iams, Eukanuba, etc… Right now we feed her Chicken Royal Canin Medium Puppy, but I would really like to switch over to a brand like Timberwolf or Canidae.

However, I can’t find any of these higher quality foods in any pet shops around here or at my vet’s office. I was wondering if anyone knew of a comparable high quality dog food that I could buy in Belgium. At the moment I am not interested in feeding her a raw meat diet.

Thanks!

My puppy is 11 weeks old and has had 2/3 vaccinations. Can he play outside in my backyard without the third set? Or should I wait until the third?

How long will Great Dane puppy be in pain for after ear cropping?

admin — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 16:54:31 +0000

Puppy will be 12 weeks old when cropped. Will puppy be bandaged right away or will they come home with just splints? And what pain medication did your vets prescribe for your puppy?

Whats the best site to get pet meds?

I am trying to not spend a fortune on pet flea treatments and heartworm treatments for the dogs. It sucks because I have two 13 lb cats, a 46 lb dog that needs flea treatment and heartworm treatment, and a 5 lb pom/chi puppy that also needs heartworm and flea treatment, so I need somehwere that I dont have to spend a ton of money on. What site is best?
Also, what are the best brand for flea treatment? I like frontline, but what other brand is just as good.

Does anyone have pet insurance for their pet?

admin — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 16:12:33 +0000

If so is it worth it? Would you recommend it and why? What’s the average monthly? Anything else you can add. My husband and I just got a new puppy and I really want insurance but he doesn’t feel it’s necesaary as our puppy is young and healthy. But he’s not neutered yet, but we’re planning on getting that done this month, so I think it would help with that. Unfortunately we didn’t get it sooner and we did pay for all shots out of pocket, but he’ll need shots next year and check ups,etc. Anywho any suggestions, experiences, recommendations are appreciated.

Who is in the wrong, who has the rights?

We obtained another dog at pets in the park from a women about 60 or 65 who had health problems. we didnt plan on it, but this dog was so cute i had to pet it. i didnt know the dog was in need of a beetter home with people that could actually take care of her as this old women had failing health, and the puppy was and still is VERY active. so i fall in love with this dog and the women says shes up for adoption and explains her situation. we consider and our first initial thought is that our 6yr old dog wont take to this new one. and we consider it more and the women says handing me the leash ”oh, take her, walk around with her and see how you like her” so we walk around with her and by this point i have fallen in love witrh this dog, so we tell the women all this stuff and whatever and we tell her our dog may not take to her but this women shes practically begging us to take it. so we take it under the presumption that we discussed being a trial on OUR end if our dog takes to her and this women leaves in tears distraught, after more conversation and her friend with some dogs in a stroller that has A SIGN on it saying something like up for adoption on it which we didnt even notice said its for the best and all that crap. long story short, we couldnt get the papers , give any of our info, or leave money cause the women left in tears and wouldnt accept any money. so i fone 2 weeks later her saying were keeping the dog and our dog has taken to her and the women says ” umm sorry that wont be and option” so meanly and we haven’t answered her calls and we licenced the dog under us and the women wants to charge us wirth theft and has filed the dog as stolen. whe found that out when we got a call from a constable who also says that the women told her that the women was at our house to get the dog and she saw the dog get pulled away from the window and the lights go out, when we didnt give her any of our info an she practically abandons the dog with us, we don’t turn our lights on till about 10:00, their is nowhere for the dog to get up and look out the window and if she came to get the dog, and she didnt come to the house. and apparently her failing health is fixed now. we consulted with a lawyer and he thinks this women might be unstable and he says we are in the right, but i just dont know.
Also EVERYONE else asked or said that this women is or sounds crazy
also it may go to court but we would have to do mediation and my parent would have to miss work, and we would lose income and on top of that this women is insane and we cant reason with her. This women also put up a kijiji add (Its taken down now, but can still be seen) and it was 0.00! Proving that this psycho path advertised more then just the sign on the stroller
