Dogs are instinctively born to eat a diet of raw meat just like their mammal cousin the wolf. In the dog food industry it’s known as a BARF diet or bones and raw food diet. The dog’s earliest ancestors were capable predators.
Deciding not to get pet insurance for older dogs can have serious consequences for your pet, and your check book, down the road. If you haven’t insured your dog, but have been considering it, now might be the right time to act. Do not take the health of your pets for granted. Remember that your pets are just like human beings, they need more medical care as they grow older.
A lot of people do not bother getting pet insurance for older dogs and end up spending a lot of money on veterinary bills later on or worst, not being able to give their dogs the right medical care. If you haven’t insured your dog, but have been considering it, now might be the right time to act. Don’t count on your dog always being healthy. You don’t know what the future will hold. Just like us, pets need additional medical care as they age.
