We didn’t have any pet insurance or any kind of pet plan for our Bengal Scooby. We had an annual check up and boosters each year which we paid for as and when required. He needed vaccinations every year to enable him to stay in the cattery we use whilst we go on holiday. Unfortunately, he suffered multiple organ failure and had to be put down to prevent any further suffering. His vet’s bills in the final few weeks of his life totalled over four thousand pounds! Fortunately, we were able to pay these bills without it causing us us a financial problem…but only just.
Looking back, and with hindsight, I think we would do the same again. Maybe this time we would set up a separate savings account just for any unexpected vet’s bills etc. If you are fortunate enough to not need to use the funds then all well and good…it can never hurt to have some funds available should the occasion arise.
Although loos Scooby happened over a year ago I can honestly state that I think of him every day and miss him so very very much
This is the last photo I took of him before all the trouble began…
