Bulldog family,
I wanted to take a moment to share something personal but important—especially for those of us who consider our pets to be family members. In July, my fur baby had to undergo CCL surgery on both legs. The total cost was over $11,000, and without insurance, this would have been an overwhelming expense. Thankfully, our pet insurance covered 90% of the bill, allowing us to focus on his recovery instead of the financial stress.
Today, his legs are 100% better, and seeing him comfortable, active, and pain-free reminds me just how valuable having pet insurance truly is. Emergencies happen without warning. Having coverage means you never have to hesitate or delay care because of cost concerns.
If you’ve ever considered pet insurance—or if it’s been on your “someday” list—I strongly encourage you to look into it. It made all the difference for us, and it may one day do the same for you and your furry loved ones.
