My vets highly recommend pet plan and will claim from them direct, they are expensive but I’ve personally found best for paying out.
My vets highly recommend pet plan and will claim from them direct, they are expensive but I’ve personally found best for paying out.Who are people using for pet insurance? I've a puppy coming home on 23rd December and have quotes for Direct Line and Pet Plan which look reasonable (around £23 per month) Is there anywhere else that you would recommend that is worth checking for a quote
I’d say Petplan is the best and most vets would do direct claims with them. Big supermarkets are also usually alright. As someone else said ask your vet who they do direct claims with as most will have a list. And as someone else said get the highest limit if possible. As some people only get cover for say 1k or another example is 4k cover but only 1k per condition which is pretty useless really. And as they said get cover for life. Also look into the policies for when they get older as a lot (I think most) will be excess plus 20% once over a certain age, some don’t and depends if your happy with that.Who are people using for pet insurance?

Have you tried things like natural chews - antlers, hooves, deer ears etc? She can chew and tire without ruining her toys. Our boys will demolish a chew and now just play with their toys. Might be worth a try!Hi! Just after some advice. We have a six month old Cockapoo and she is genuinely lovely. She has her moments but overall she is lovely natured and well behaved. The problem I’m having at the moment is she is destroying every toy she owns. She had two toy boxes full and she loves to play, but I don’t think she realises her own strength. I’ve tried every type of toy imaginable, kong toys, super strength toys, balls, rope toys, stuffed toys, plastic toys. She is breaking these within 5 minutes. She’s got less than half a toy box left now and I know I need to buy her more, but I just know as soon as we give her them they’re going in the bin and it just feels like I’m wasting my money. Any advice much appreciated!

I'd definitely echo what @snapdrag0n says! We had the exact same issue with our little pup up until he was about 10 months, I dread to think how much money i wasted on toys that lasted literally minutes! (And how pissed off I'd feel picking up 1 million pieces of stuffing/chewed rubber/fabric etc etc etcHave you tried things like natural chews - antlers, hooves, deer ears etc?

Thank you both!! Will definitely be looking into this as she’s been really sad having so few toys, she’s used to the floor being coveredI'd definitely echo what @snapdrag0n says!

(And how pissed off I'd feel picking up 1 million pieces of stuffing/chewed rubber/fabric etc etc etc). We tried lots of natural chews, this favourites are antlers, pigs ears and rabbits ears! Chomping on those really wears him out and he doesn't destroy his toys half as much any more..... apart from cuddly stuffed animals, I don't think they'll ever be safe
Puppies are hellish, they are. I never sugarcoat it but they are so so worth it when you get a companion for life!Getting our boy on Saturday, labcocker. Very excited but read too many forums and now scared too! Hope I’ve done the right thing
We're picking up our golden retriever on Sunday so very in the same boat. Mixture of excitement and nerves. My husband has had dogs in the family, but it'll be my first time. Feeling as prepared as we can be though. Sending so much positive thinking your way! I think the first few weeks will be tough, but hopefully it doesn't last forever and things will get better...Getting our boy on Saturday, labcocker. Very excited but read too many forums and now scared too! Hope I’ve done the right thing
We get our boy on the 23rd, border/rough collie cross. Not had a puppy in a long time so bit nervousGetting our boy on Saturday, labcocker. Very excited but read too many forums and now scared too! Hope I’ve done the right thing
Thanks, and to you, hopefully we can share our highs and lows on here (and a few photos1). I know if we can ride it out and commit to training and socialisation we will have a lovely dog and a friend for life. Not looking forward to the sleepness nights though, my husband is a deep sleeper so I know I'm going to be the one doing the nightshifts@Murphygirl good luck! At least there are a few of us in the same boat!
Omg adorable!View attachment 1818008
24 hours in it’s not been completely plain sailing, but she’s absolutely gorgeous and very affectionate so that definitely makes things easier.
