My Dog Was Hit By A Car
When Bentley, my pitbull terrier, was only 1-year-old he got hit by a car and survived. It wasn’t really anyone’s fault. The problem was that Bentley was an escape artist. As a puppy, a week couldn’t go by without him breaking out of the backyard through a hole in the fence or running out the door when someone was coming or going. And once he was out, it took a long time to get him back.
Pet Insurance: Why You Need It
Caring for dogs can be expensive. At the very least, they need shots every year, flea and tick treatment, and heartworm prevention pills. If your dog hurts themselves, has an allergic reaction, or breaks a bone, you’re looking at a trip to the vet and a large bill. Just diagnosing problems can be expensive, with X-Rays running up to $500 and MRIs running up to $2,500.
