Title: Dog Insurance
Post by: James.Harwood on July 21, 2008, 18:54:52
For anyone with any of the following breed of dog: bulldogs, estrela mountain dogs, German shepherds (alsatian), great danes, greyhounds, Irish wolfhounds, leonbergers, Newfoundlands, old English sheepdogs, rottweilers, Pyrenean mountain dogs and St Bernards.

Time to move the insurance when it's up for renewal then.

I was paying £300 a year to the Kennel Club for the three Labradors Insurance, they had virtually doubled it to £600 by the time I said 'not any more'.

You can't even claim anything unless you pay the first £50, so it makes the Insurance virtually pointless as most vet bills are around £50 to £60.

I've just had to pay for eight weeks vet treatment for one of the dogs and I'm still saving money.

Total rip off.

We have three Airedale Terriers.  No insurance.  We would have paid something like £3,000 over the last five years if we had had!  We pay when we need to visit the vets, which is almost never.

I hear you diggerdog.

We have a english springer spaniel with very good blood lines, she's in training as a gun dog and a breeding bitch in a few years time, I never get past the gun dog point!

Mind you, try insuring horses these days, I've also got a couple of horses, it would kill me to insure all the animals!
