I just received an interesting article about whether pet insurance is worth the cost. I know that I would not go without it, particularly for a big dog. My Luna, who was my original dog park dog, made good use of it. Unfortunately, I lost Luna to bloat. Her nephew, Draco, is a perfect dog park dog, but he has had a few expensive injuries and illnesses during his life. Pet insurance was a great investment, and we have made good use of it. When you have a big dog, you will have big bills. My recommendation is to obtain pet insurance for your dog, as soon as your dog is eligible. The following article provides great information about the value of pet insurance.
