Vet and pet insurance recs?
We just got a yorkie 2 weeks ago. It?s about 9 ? weeks now and we need to take him to the vet again for his shots. Anyone have any recommendations for a good, reliable, affordable vet in the Plano/Frisco area?
Also, I heard it?s a good idea to get pet insurance during the first year because some will pay for all the shots and stuff. Also, since our yorkie is a little smaller than a normal toy, he may get sick more often, etc. Anybody have any recs for that? I?m totally clueless on pet insurance companies as this is my first puppy. TIA! I appreciate it.
Re: Vet and pet insurance recs?
We opted to not get insurance for our two adult dogs, but ones I've looked into are:
Pets Best Insurance (more like a discount plan)

VPI

Banfield (Pets Mart Vets only)

Not sure how far in Plano/Frisco you are from McKinney, but I was very pleased with our experience @ SPCA.

I LOVE my vet! They are at Spring Creek and Coit. I see the female vet, Dr. Rogers. She is wonderful with Jade.

Humane Animal Hospital
I LOVE our vet. Its on Hebron and Marsh, just West of the Shops at Willow Bend. It is All Creatures Veterinary Clinic and all the doctors are great. You can visit the website at allcreaturesonline.com.
We do this for our dog too. The great thing about the puppy plan is that is also covers spaying or neutering, which is very expensive without the plan. For dogs older than a year, you also have the option of paying an extra $8 a month to have the plan include a professional teeth cleaning each year. Our dog has had lots of unexpected health problems and the plan has saved us a fortune.
