[NAGDU] Health Insurance

[Aleeha Dudley]

Hi, 
I would just put money aside. The pet insurance plans are not complete coverage plans, will have deductibles, and will also only pay usually about 90 percent of the cost after the deductible. It’s better to just put some money aside, if you can. If you are on SSI, though, you may not be permitted to do that and may have to go about it some other way. 
HTH, 
Aleeha and Whitley, who is healthy as a horse
