i've been looking for some insurance for eric as the pasteurella and/or syphillis prob has proven to be quite expensive and he's not yet 5 months old. hadn't had chance to take out the insurance before he needed his first vet trip:censored: v annoyed as i take insurance out for everything important to me (and eric's way up there :love:) - just cr*p timing with this illness.

i know no one will cover a pre-existing condition so if these symptoms return at a later date, the insurers won't pay out.

however, as he's a netherland dwarf, i will be wanting to keep a close eye on his teeth from what i've learnt from this site. no tooth problems reported yet but could anyone advise as to whether i should get him insured now - would it be worth it or would the insurer make out everything was connected to this pre-existing episode? and which company would be best?

Check the policies-I'm sure some dont cover dentals.Could you maybe put the money aside each month instead,say in a savings account so that its there whatever problem occurs.I dont have insurance but I know a lot on here do,I think Petplan is popular [I got a quote for my 2 for about £16/month]
 
thanks for your advice daisylop, i'll make sure i read all of the small print before i take out a policy
