Actually there is such a thing as veterinary insurance for dogs and
cats. . . not gerbies, tho :-(
I've even seen a plan that is like a "veterinary HMO." It even covered
routine care such as vaccinations and neutering. Most plans are
primarily geared toward "major medical" and only cover things like
accidents and serious illnesses. Unless one opted to pay higher
premiums.
Sorry, I'm getting OT!
