Pet Insurance: Is It Worth It?
Just mention pet insurance, and some people will get just as worked up as if you were talking about abortion or politics. They are sure that it’s a scam and that it’s overpriced. Why would an animal need health insurance? It’s just one more example of people with too much money spoiling their pets worse than their children.
However, if you look closely, you will soon see that pet insurance can actually save you money. If your pet has a major accident or illness, it could cost you thousands. For around $15 a month, you and your pet could be protected from major bills. Many may be thinking that’s wasted money if you never need to use it. Well, in a way it is. Others would think you should just count yourself lucky if your pet is never traumatically hurt and lives a full life without chronic illness.
For just a little bit more than the accident and major illness coverage, your pet can also be covered for routine visits and medications. The owner just pays a small co-pay and everything else is covered. Most pet insurance plans also offer discounts for families with more than one pet so that pet owners can afford to protect each one of their furry friends.
While you can save a substantial amount if you insure your pet while they are young, there are senior plans available at higher rates. It’s good to know that it’s never too late to cover your dog or cat with pet insurance. When pets begin to get older and suffer from the same aches and pains that elderly people experience, it can be quite hard for their owners to watch. With a good insurance plan, they can be kept comfortable with effective treatment at an affordable cost.

It’s a good question to ask at the beginning of a Blogging for Beginners Series as it is a question I am asked every week.
There are a number of ways I could answer this question ranging from the broad to the highly technical.
Here are a few definitions from other much wiser people on the ‘what is a blog?’ question to get us started (and once you’ve seen what they have to say on the topic I’ll share my own thoughts):
‘A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log. Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles on a blog are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises text, hypertext, images, and links (to other web pages and to video, audio and other files). Blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often blogs focus on a particular “area of interest”, such as Washington, D.C.’s political goings-on. Some blogs discuss personal experiences.’
‘A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.” Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.’
‘A weblog is kind of a continual tour, with a human guide who you get to know. There are many guides to choose from, each develops an audience, and there’s also comraderie and politics between the people who run weblogs, they point to each other, in all kinds of structures, graphs, loops, etc.’
