No I dont mean Palace female fans....

My vet has just charged me ( actually) my insurance company £1200 for a nights stay for my spinger in doggy hospital.

I am sure he saw the insurance policy and started adding different tests.

How much is an average night in doggy hospital?

and of course he has said we need to bring the now seemingly cured mutt back for more tests.

The insurance excess is £50 so its not budget breaking.....


NOw he also says dont give the dog human food.....he is a 1 year old Springer we adopted 2 months ago..

With previous dogs we always gave them cooked meat ie chicken or liver the wife even brought some up to eat rice ( being a filipina)

The wonderful vet said he should be fed only a kind of biscuit food, I know I am not a vet but all our dogs before had a varied diet and it never effected them.

Any thoughts?

What if your insurer agrees with what you intimate and repudiate on the basis of tests or certain conditions being excluded.

What then?

There's your problem - giving your dog bad food, even your wife couldn't digest it properly.

whoosh

Edit: You got it eventually
 


If the Aston is yours then surely you can afford it!! Failing that look at the prices to have it put down!!! only joking bud. We've just got a German shepperdxcollie and have been advised to only feed her dry food, but once a week she can have some raw meat.

I have not said the tests will not be done, in fact they are covered by the first insurance excess,

I am just suspicious of the costs

So unless you have a waiver you'll pay?

So tests were 50 quid and costs of £1150? Blimey tooth fine and comb spring to mind.

I know from my time there that Filipino dogs seem to survive on whatever they get. Mind you could be that this one being a pedigree doesn't have the same physical resilience a mongrel. Currently my disgusting beast, a cross bred, is existing partially on a diet of horse shit.

When your insurance premiums rocket (as a result of your claims record) and you decide not to renew the policy, what happens then?

Let me guess. Next time you visit the vet, you tell him that the dog isn't insured. And he finds a low-cost treatment that doesn't involve a bill of £1,200, and the dog gets better.

She's done that yes, but the tragic thing is that if a fox comes anywhere near, not to attack it but to play with it. Bearing in mind she's considerably bigger than a fox they don't tend to hang around to make her acquaintance. Right now she thinks she's a horse which is not a good idea as one of the horses doesn't like her much.

This wouldn't be a particular variety of rather expensive biscuit food? By sheer coincidence, the variety that can be bought direct from the vet?

My thoughts exactly !!!

The same goes for yearly injections - vets make a song and dance about it if you're a month late and sometimes claim you've got to have the whole course again rather than just the booster. Strangely, my cousin who is a fully qualified vet, injects his own animals every other year and they seem to survive very nicely.

People love their animals too much to go against a vets word even if it does seem incorrect.
