Unless you're new to my little part of the internet you'll know I'm one of those pet owners. The ones that talks about their pets non-frigging-stop. My one, aka Lopez The Best Dog In The World is my soulmate and fur-baby wrapped into one, like a brilliant BOGOF offer life decided to honour me with. This year we had our first proper "poorly" incident and I felt like my world was falling apart. It was absolutely torturous and despite me being convinced he understands everything I say, him not being able to tell me what was wrong was absolutely heart wrenching.
It taught me why pet insurance is a damn good idea. Lopez's breeder wouldn't accept owners who didn't take out insurance and at the time I thought that was a little over the top. However, having experienced him being unwell and the security our insurance policy gave me I couldn't recommend it more. We chose Pet Plan Insurance and we've found them to be brilliant, as do our vets. By coincidence, Pet Plan got in touch last month and asked Lopez and I to take part in a campaign with them.
