Description
Owning a dog is a substantial financial commitment. Veterinary costs average $7-$12k over the typical 10-15 year lifespan of your dog. Amidst all the excitement of bringing home a new puppy, remember to purchase pet insurance. The policy will be the least expensive the younger the dog and the coverage will ease the financial pain when your furry friend ends up at the vet for an expensive procedure.
