This video shows a dog being trained on his first day of sitting away from you, and because of the initial attention training, getting into it with distraction very early becomes quite easier. This video shows one dog learning initially with the Sit Means Sit collar, and the other dog already is trained and has absolutely no equipment or leashes on as he is already an attentive dog. You can see the contrast of a beginning dog, and a trained dog. To learn more about the Sit Means Sit collar, see: www.sitmeanssit.com
Last week I had a health scare with my 3 year old beagle, Tater Salad, and am now almost 00 dollars in the hole! YIKES! I have two beagles, I love them both to distraction and NEVER want to be in a position where I cannot pay for treatment for them. This was a real wake up call- emergency vet care is EXPENSIVE, and it doesn’t matter if your dogs are young and healthy. Anything can happen, and everyone who has a pet should think about what they would do in an emergency situation.
Also, ANY dog can develop bloat- even a 20 lb. beagle. It’s more rare for smaller dogs, but can still happen- if your dog is obsessively swallowing, licking the air, vomiting foam, dry heaving repeatedly, burping, etc. get him to the vet right away. My dog was bloated without the usual "twisted stomach" (thank god), and did not need surgery. If he had, I would be looking at a much steeper bill…
Long story short, for those of you who have gotten pet health insurance- What company would you recommend, and why? Who would you steer clear of? What has been your experience w/your company, and how does it work? Like, do you have to carry an insurance card, or do you get reimbursed? And what exactly does pet insurance cover?
Thanks in advance!
