My beloved cat of 16 years died last fall, and I (and my dog) missed her terribly, so I decided to get a new cat from my local animal shelter. The dog's not so thrilled yet, but I know she'll come around.
The cat, Jerome, is healthy and happy. I brought him in to the vet yesterday. I asked the vet about pet health insurance, since all of my pets have had costly medical problems, and I thought insurance might be a good thing to get while Jerome is still young and healthy. The vet said it's a personal choice -- she suggests that people put a little money away into a savings plan for the pet for emergencies, but if that's hard to do, then insurance can be a good option. My dog's emergencies have run into the thousands of dollars, so I think the insurance might be a better bet for me.

I'm looking at different plans -- there are a lot of options out there -- and wondered if any of you folks in the Dollar Stretcher community had any thoughts -- especially from those of you who've gotten medical insurance for your own pets.
