Is it worth it to get dog health insurance?

dog health
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 :)

    The fine print of over 1000000 shes ok now but will never be without insurance contract to make sure you have everything you need covered.
