| [quote=Santa;197656]Most people can afford to care for their pets in everyday circumstances, but what you are really suggesting is that only those who have a good few thousand lying around spare should have pets. I think you'd find that means most of us would have to give up our pets. Life simply doesn't work that way.

While this is true, it doesn't seem to me like pet insurance really is going to help in emergency situations, since they only reimburse owners AFTER the fact. That means the owner is still going to have to be able to come up with a way to pay on the spot for emergency treatment..that could be thousands for something like bloat, for example.
For that reason, I always maintained a credit card that was used only for animal emergencies. I never wanted to be frantically casting around for the cash to pay a vet in a worst case scenario when every second counts.
