I was one of the 1st people to get dog insurance (VPI Insurance) over 10 years ago for my maltese. It started way back then at $12/month and I was paying $35.00/month when he died. It did pay for itself though through all the problems, shots, checkups, etc…that he had. I just got a Morkie and I bought the plan from Petco, costs over $300.00 for a full year and covers alot of stuff but not everything! It does help though. check out the VPI, they were great back then.

Most of the ones I have seen (PetPlan, VPI), charge a little more than that a month. The ones that dont probably wont cover as much for an incident, and you could still run into what you explained with your other dogs. I pay around $30 a month for VPI, and they cover a lot.

There are several insurances out there, do a search on google and compare prices. Just a note on the insurance though
1) they don’t cover everything, most will not cover routine vaccinations etc unless you purchase a separate plan
2) a lot of insurances will not cover genetic / hereditary diseases so read they coverage before you buy
3) most will still have a deductible, although it most cases it is reasonable around $50/incident

I believe both the AKC and the CKC have pet insurance that they recommend.
