Sample issue

Hi there,

This issue's plan: the emergency vet number

Look up your nearest 24-hour emergency animal hospital today and save its address and phone number in your phone. In an emergency, those minutes matter, and knowing where you're going means less stress for you and your pet.

While you're at it, check where your emergency vet fund stands. See Build an emergency vet fund.

A way to save on care

If your pet takes a regular medication, ask your vet for a written prescription and compare prices at a few licensed pharmacies. Many vets are happy to provide one. See Saving on pet medications.

Reader question

"Is pet insurance worth it?" It depends on your pet, your savings and the policy. The key details are the deductible, reimbursement rate, limits and exclusions, especially for pre-existing conditions. See Pet insurance or a savings fund?
