Nice breed WP.
Tough going for a young pup thats. Not cheap either. Anyone gone with pet insurance here?
we ditched it after 5 years and were very lucky till the end.
Thanks Frankie we love our Alaskan Malamutes
We used to have Pet Insurance until last year but ditched it when the combined monthly premiums (3 dogs, 1 cat) became higher than our monthly private health insurance. And they were about to put up the Cats premium by 33% and our youngest dog's premium up by 25%. Neither our cat or our youngest had never been to the vet for anything other than their vaccinations.
So now we put away a set amount each month into a separate bank account for them
And yes it was very expensive but worth it
I used to whelp and rear pups.
With vet expenses, one thing I’ll say is that the difference between country and city pricing is unbelievable …
Sorry to hear WP, very very unlucky that ..
Yes very lucky indeed. Another 24 hours and things would be very different
Curious Damo, in your experience which is the more expensive country or city?
Earlier this year when we lost Nisha we were away on holidays in Bright and thing we found was there was no 24 hour vet care up that way. Albury had a 24 hospital run by nurses after 8pm, if you needed a vet they would call one in after a nurse assessed your case. Outside of that the nearest one is in Wagga. Hence why we had to make a dash back to Melbourne to try and save him
