Pet Insurance - does it cover Euthansia?
We had to have our dear old (13 years) cat put to sleep at the weekend, his heart had had enough. I know I had to go in emergency time but the bill was just over £170! Lucky that he'd been a healthy cat, I think we'd only taken him to the vets once before 10 years ago, as we'd never had him insured. We'd like to get…
