<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I never bought insurance with my Basset of 13
years, now deceased. His greatest expenses were as a senior dog. But I
anticipate needing accident insurance with this small mix I adopted. He explores
and eats anything that isn't moving fast. And already in 8 weeks has cost me
almost $400 just for shots and trying different flea remedies and worm meds. I
spent $5,000 in one year for my Basset as a senior and I totaled up a $10,000
vet tally over his lifetime.I imagine insurance would have been helpful for his
medical.I am looking at the ASPCA insurance as a possibility after I finish
spending on his present needs, still looking toward neutering in the near
future, once his other issues are good. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
