I've had many pets, and on EXACTLY ONE the medical bills cost more than insurance to cover the bills would have. On every other pet in my entire life, the insurance would have cost way more than it would have covered.
I wish I'd had insurance on that one pet, because I ate those medical bills and it hurt (but I could afford it)... but I can't really recommend "always get insurance" as a plan because that's the only animal that ever needed it. And the price of that animal was *STILL* lower than "insurance for all animals forever" would have been.
