Can anyone here share your wisdom on dog LBYM, particularly:
- Pet insurance: There's also a choice of insurance types including accident, time-limited, maximum benefit or lifetime. Insurance is always a gamble, but in other areas, I tend to self-insure or have a high excess to keep premiums low. What's the best strategy with young pets?
- Pet health club (no kidding!): The vet we had recommended has a scheme for £14 that covers annual core vaccinations, year-round flea and worm control, 2 health appointments, 2 claw clips, and then 10% off their other services (like food, parasite treatment, neutering, dentistry, wellness screening). Are these worth it?
- Food and treats: With so difficult to tell whether 'premium' brands are worth the difference in price and quality. Any recommendations on good products/brands or, alternatively, sites with reliable reviews?
- Paraphernalia: It's like having a baby again with beds, mats, toys etc (I was going to say crates, which would have come in handy with our two children!
