Dog health insurance has become very popular during the last few years.   Long available in the UK, the popularity has spread to the US and Canada, as pet owners are searching for ways to lower their pet health care costs with insurance.   Last year along pet owners spent billions on health care that dog insurance could have helped pay for.

When you buy health insurance for your dog you need to read the policy and exclusions very carefully.   Many health plans only cover accidental injuries while not insuring the routine health care costs.   If you dog is on maintenance medication for arthritis you know the cost of the pills is daunting.   Many times you can save big with dog insurance.
