Pet insurance is common in the UK.I have it for Haggis but you have to be careful of the terms of the policy as many of the insurance policies only cover the dog for a year so if your little puppy has something wrong with him longterm after a year the insurance company will stop paying out. I pay more each month but have a 'for life' policy. It might not seem worth paying the extra each month but the mother of a work colleague has a Westie a few years older than Haggis, she has diabetes and two other things that I can't remember and requires drugs for life and it costs them a fortune as they only had insurance that covered them for the year.
The insurance for Haggis costs more each month than my car insurance! but it's worth it to know that whatever happens to my financial situation Haggis will be able to have whatever medical care he needs in the future.
