Are you piggies insured?

[dazie]

I have been thinking about this for a while and with each new piggy comes the worry that they will have to go to the vets so is it a good idea to have insurance?

 

[kellyandpiggies]

it's whether you can find anyone that does it. If they did then I think we would all have it

I don't have any of my guineas or rabbits insured. I know a lot of people do though! It's alright if you only have a few animals but paying out insurance every month for 28 animals would cost me an awful lot, plus i've had some rabbits for 7-9 years and none of them have needed to go to the vets apart from neutering.

It would work out cheaper to just open a savings account and pay any money into that, then use that for vets bills!

there isnt many that do insurance for small animals.

I think they should,they can do it for rabbits but not for piggies,i dont see much difference

Thats a mighty good idea, it's kinda like your own insurance for pets lmao

There used to be a very good one for guineas but they had to stop doing (too good probably). You insured a number of guineas- say 10-15 for a set amount. This included any pigs that came into your possesion during that year. Basically if you didn't go over your limit (in this case 15) you were covered. The name of the pig was on the vets documents...

I have a bit put by for vet visits, I have never seen or heard of insurance for guineas.

This sounds really good, shame they stopped doing it.

It was very good, especially when you have £100+ ops to pay for. I got my money back every year I was with them, unfortunately I think everyone else did too and they ended up out of pocket!
