uncannily this moring I opened my email to a mail titled "Have you ever wondered if pet insurance is worth it?" with this link

I'm in Canada so I don't qualify, but it sounds like it might be worth it for some people.

I just put aside $50/mo on my own for "insurance". So far the only major things I've needed in the 16 years I've had my cats was radioactive iodine for my 11 year old. It was $1700, but I'm not sure how much the deductible on that would've cost, and if I were paying $22/mo (premium I was paying for the 17 year old when I first got her) for the past 10 years, well... that amounts to $2640.

And I believe the jury's still out on garlic for cats. I know some recommend putting garlic powder on cat food when the cat's sick and not eating to entice them. I know some cat food contains garlic, too.

I'm pretty sure my dog's eaten onion/garlic in his time. Judging by the way he went bonkers around pizza, I imagine his previous owner(s) gave him pizza. I didn't, as I know I'd have been cleaning up a lot of mess for the next couple of days.
