insurance

My take is that you NEVER know when an emergency happens, and you won’t feel it until you're in a life and death situation. You think bad things like this don’t happen, but they actually do, accidents can happen, puppies eat everything they see and it can cause blockage. It’s annoying having a...

Hi Fellow Bulldog LoVers!:heart: I recently got 2 new baby english bulldogs, 2 weeks ago. We have pet insurance through the AKC until June 4.

We get asked often what pet insurance is the best. I personally have a credit card for my 2 dogs as I believe it’s the way to go. Especially if you start off your puppy on a healthy diet n healthy treats, you shouldn’t be using insurances or credit card for a very long time. If you buy a dog...

I know this is mainly a US forum, but I wanted to ask some fellow UK'ers about who they are using for pet insurance. I've had a few quotes from PetPlan, BoughtByMany and the like, but wondered if anyone can actually recommend one? Our staffie was insured with Animal Friends, but I point blank...

Hi. I’m the proud new parent of the sweetest 16 mo EBD whom I got a month ago from a family that no longer wanted her. I immediately took her to an EBD recommended vet because she was literally skin/bones and as I suspected she WAS underweight - 10 pounds underweight, hadn’t had her heart worm...

Hi could anyone in the uk recommend any good insurance companies please? I’ve found a few and one that stands out is with 4paws insurance and gives lifetime cover of £12000 per year and if the £12000 gets used up in the year you have to wait till the policy starts again the following year which...

Sorry for the long post in advance... So my poor little Hazel had her first DA2PP vaccination a few weeks ago. She had it at around 4pm and was fine until 10pm when she started shaking non-stop and was running a fever. The only side-effect I have ever noticed in my dogs is lethargy. We...

Any thoughts on purchasing pet insurance? I've never had it with my other dogs, but with the health problems that come with EB's is it a good idea? Does anyone else have it and used it? Just trying to see if it's worth buying. Thanks

Hey all. Haven't posted in awhile, but last Friday Lincoln had bilateral distichiasis surgery. It all started about a month ago. He was referred to an eye specialist and he knew it right off the bat that he needed surgery. We got him in the next day and he is doing great now. All I can say is...

His fur is coming back in and his gray skin is no longer visible. The 2 Nexgard treatments have worked well to combat the mites. We will recommend to continue monthly doses to his new owners. He's been neutered and at the same time his cherry-eye tacked. As is quite common with bulldogs, the...

Hello everyone, We don't have a bulldog yet but are looking to add one to our family but before we do I want to make sure we have as much information as possible. We are looking at getting a grown dog instead of a puppy. A few questions I have is are they expensive to keep ie food, vet bills...

Does anyone carry insurance on your fur baby? If so which company and what are the pros and cons?

So Penny was a rescue; she is big but doesn't look like an OEB. The vets say nope she is just a big English bulldog. I don't think we noticed how big until we got Bristol and she didn't grow to the size we expected. The vets took blood test when we first had her evaluated for the soft palate...

I've been wanting an English Bulldog for 10 years. I've got a friend that has always had them and I've been fortunate enough to dog sit for a week at a time, so I've understood a lot of the requirements for the breed. I recently applied and was approved for the next litter if they have at least...

The more I research, the more I realize how many health issues and/or expensive food bullies need. We don't have a ton of money. We're not poor but not well off either. Will pet insurance help a lot? Should I even be considering a bully? :cry:

Let me start this by saying, I've had bullies all my life and never had this kind of problem. My bully has a really tight tail and therefore, has a tail pocket. A few weeks ago, I noticed that when I clean his tail pocket there is blood. It is just progressively getting worse. Now, he is...
