Saint Bernard Insurance

[Natnmack]

Hi I am getting a Saint Bernard puppy and and want to take out insurance, just wondering who has their saint insured and who with? Are there any companies to stay away from?

Thanks

PetPlan or Bow Wow Meow. Bernard's are pretty expensive I think, because of their short lives and giant breed status. I think that the number #1 thing you need to get cover for is tick paralysis, but not sure if that's an issue where you are. Also get cover for cruciate repair - but that usually has a 6 month exclusion depending on who you go with, so get it sooner rather than later.

Hi Natnmack :) I have an 8 month old Saint baby. I spent ages trying to decide if we should get pet insurance for him or not, and in the end we didn't. They are an expensive breed to insure. Instead of paying an insurance company each month, I put money aside into a special savings account, which I don't touch for anything other than vet bills. Having said this though, Saint vet bills can be enormous. I'm not saying definitely don't get pet insurance, as plenty of people swear by it and would be lost without it, but if you're good at saving and can commit to putting money aside each period without touching it, then that could be another option for you.

Good luck with your new pup! Where is he or she coming from? :)
