They quoted me over £600 but the vet rang me and said she didnt give me the discount and gave me the new quote , i thought it was at least honest of her to do that

They run a heathy pets club ,for £15 a month it covers all flea and worm treatments , a free six month!y check up and 10% off all medications and turns out i got money off the operation as well. They are a decent practice but the cost of vets is shockingly bad . I have insurance for merlin but as i said the dental area is where they can say no
 
We used to use a vet that was nicknamed £60 Claire, because it was £60 as soon as you walked through the door. My 7 year old Golden Retrievers ACL snapped in November last year, the vet we now use said he was too big for them to operate on so we were referred to some specialists and it cost £6,000 for the operation. It was £500 just for the x-ray. Our insurance wouldn't cover it all so I ended up getting a loan out because they wanted 75% up front. Thankfully he's made a good recovery but we still give him an anti-inflammotory called metacam which costs £75 from the vet, but I can buy it online for about £25.

I’ve been quoted that for a dog plan which I may go for and rather than buy insurance just stick £50 away each month to cover the eventually of any problems

That sounds sensible , i might think twice about insurance next year , especially if merlins tooth is proved by Xrays and the vets report that is was an injury and they still wont pay out
 
Our dog recently had an abscess on her paw. Cost a total of £150 for two visits and pain killers and antibiotics. We have always had insurance, luckily, as she needed an operation a couple of years ago including 3 nights recuperation in an animal hospital £4500!. She's 9 now and that is the only time we have used the insurance. So, if you are going down the self insurance route then I think saving £50 to £60 a month is realistic but obviously runs the risk of the 'big bill' arriving anytime before the pot has been built up.
