Is it worth it to get dog health insurance?

Crizzle Gizzle asked:


I was wondering if it would be worth it to get health insurance for my dog, and what plan would be suggested. Here are 2 sites for insurance providers, and the prices for the ones I like:

http://www.petcareinsurance.com/ $25 a month
http://www.petinsurance.com/index.aspx $25-30 a month

I feel it would be a smart investment because it would cover my puppy (10 weeks) in getting surgical costs, medicine, physical therapy, 2 check ups a year, etc. if she ever needed it. It also covers the cost of her getting in a car accident, and even if she gets lost…up to $150 in fees for a reward. It covers a LOT of stuff for those “just in case” situations.

I DO take care of her, and will take great care of her. I get her vitamins, chew toys to clean her teeth, teeth cleaning bones, great puppy food, etc. So her health should be top notch. But God forbid she gets sick, gets a bad injury from running with me every day (I plan on 2 mile runs with me, and 1-2 mile walks with my gf every day).

Just please tell me if you suggest getting it, why or why not, and if there is another company you use for it. Thanks!
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT INSURANCE YOU HAVE TOO!!! Thanks :)

Are there any health/safety risks associated with a dog that eats acorns?

Our 4-month old puppy eats acorns, and short of taping his snout shut, there’s nothing we can do to stop him because we have 3 acres of oak trees. He has food available, and eats it when he’s hungry, but he gnaws on acorns all the time and I’m pretty sure he’s trying to eat them, shells and all. Have any of you had experience with this?

I have a 12/13 year old boxer dog that has been in good health all her life. But about a week ago, she started vomiting yellow liquid, and now her eyes are bloodshot and a little cockeyed. She has also had a little loss of appetite. any clue as to why this is happening to her?
i also forgot to add that she had a seizure the other day. i think this might have led to these problems

My 12 year old dog is losing weight. The Vet did blood work and the results came back normal. He seems to be hungrier and also eliminating more. Could the commercial food he is eating be passing right through his system and not being absorbed or utilized?

Elia Yekina P asked:


I took my dog to the vet like 2 weeks ago for a vaccine (rabies). Yesterday I felt a small mass just before his knee. Could this be caused by the vaccine or should I be worried?. I know I have to take him to the vet. I just need to save some money. The mass is soft and it does not causes him any pain. What could it be?
