    If you have a dog, please PLEASE get pet insurance!

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

    Pet Insurance. Do the Math!

    We get asked often what pet insurance is the best. I personally have a credit card for my 2 dogs as I believe itā€™s the way to go. Especially if you start off your puppy on a healthy diet n healthy treats, you shouldnā€™t be using insurances or credit card for a very long time. If you buy a dog...

    Do you have to be "rich" to own a bulldog?

    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:
