    @Chelsea mine was pay out up to $3000 a dog, up to $1000 for a vet bill dogs had to be value by stock agent.
    IF all dogs got killed at once they only pay $3000 max

    Mines the same however I chose for $2000 replacement cover and only have one dog. They did say I may be questioned on her abilities because they have had cases where the working dog was covered but the family pet dies and they try and claim the insurance on the family pet at the working dog value but she said footage of her working and testimonies from staff or employers is proof enough.

    Wish I had insured my mutt Chelsea. He got cancer at 3.5 years and cost almost 2 k in vet bills just to sort out what was going on with him and then have him put down ( which they charged me for too......)

    Not only do you have to deal with the heart ache of losing a very special dog, then the bills sting also to add some salt in there.

    Yeah this is what I want to avoid, I just lost my young horse. Racked up heaps of vet bills trying to fix her only for her to be put down and I’m left paying a huge bill for a dead horse
