Pet Insurance?
Nine a dollars a month in a savings account won't add up though, if you have a condition that pops up right away (or even after a year).
It depends on your doctor with VPI. They are willing to pay you and have you then reimburse your doctor.

I have 10 full time pigs (no fosters), so insurance is a must. One contagious disease or infestation could cost thousands.
That's great! I'm glad you started this thread too, it reminded me to sign up my new pig.

It is amazing, but my company started offering pet insurance to their employees this year. They don't pay the full permium, but we do get a discount.
Ironically, they will probably drop human insurance in place of Obama-care...

My vet's office said if you have a limited number of animals, it may be beneficial, but if you have a large family, its not worth it. I tallied what my per month cost would be... one and a half times my mortgage. I laughed and said if I could apply as a decent sized business, it might be worth it ;) Care credit owns my soul.
At 50 or even 75 dollars per pig per year, I can't figure how they would ever make money.
Most people who would get the insurance are going to spend between 50 - 75 a year on checkups and $250 - $1000 on senior pig health issues.
Unless of course they drop coverage when the pig gets passed a certain age and deny coverage for expensive treatments (like surgery)
