I just saw this advert for pet insurance and it said that dogs start from £8 and cats from £5. Why? Is it because a majority of the dogs are bigger, or because cats are generally smarter and won't die as easily? This country.

Solution:

Buy a cat.

You can play games with the paper when its younger, teaching it to bring it to you.

Teach it to play fetch by smearing tuna all over a stick

Buy it a lead and take it for walks.

Maybe because dogs are a bit dirtier, prone to disease etc...

We got 3 dogs!

The one that died before didn't need anything expensive...

We are far better not getting insurance!

And the prices get a LOT higher as the dog gets older!

They would probably refuse to insure a 14 year old dog due...

Think about it:

Operation = £1900
Insurance = £8 per month
8 x 12 = £96 per year
Average dog age = 15
15 x 96 = £1440

Total insurance for dog's life is £1440. You were screwed!

DOgs cost more!

Out doggy had some big operation...

It cost us £1900!

We didn't have insurance but by not insuring her we probably didn't lose anything out of it with the money we saved...

Its because dogs are dumber, and there is more chance they go and play with traffic.

My dog would anyway.....
