Last week, Aki developed a little limp after our game of fetch.
My heart dropped… He’s only 5.5 months and he’s hurt already.
With PPD (Personal Protection Dog) training starting in 10 days, I couldn’t help but think — Should I get pet insurance?
Aki’s all smiles — worth protecting!
What Vets Really Think About Pet Insurance
I asked a vet friend I trust for his honest opinion. He told me the following, off the record… 🦮🧑🦯
Almost 50% of vets work under ProSal, where they can earn more by upselling, rather than recommending what’s necessary.
I experienced this gouging firsthand with Lexi during an emergency visit — it left me bitter and cautious.
Look into getting insurance now to protect yourself, it’ll be cheaper while Aki’s young.
So, I started comparing plans using trusted sites like TheSwiftest, Money, and Spot Pet Insurance since they offer simple break downs and compete to provide the lowest price.
Truthfully, I haven’t decided if I’ll buy insurance yet. It’s a cost-benefit decision.
In the meantime, I’m limiting Aki’s physical playtime and adding extra enrichment games to keep him busy as he heals.
