Find out the best WHEN and HOW of brushing, bathing etc. 

Many pet insurance companies will allow you to pick your own monthly payment, but that will affect your deductible and/or the percentage of their coverage. 

Not every company will cover 100%, some may cover 80% or even less. 

BERRY’S SNEAKY SUPER TIP: If you are not concerned over immediate coverage, here’s a cool tip: Set up a special “My Dog” savings account. Then setup automatic payments to this account. Whatever you are comfortable with: Could be a weekly amount, bi-weekly or monthly. Most Pet Insurance Companies start between $50-$60/month. Instead of paying them… Put that amount away yourself in a savings account. IF you never need it, you will have a nice chunk of change sitting there in about 12-15 years… If you DO need it, at least it doesn’t hit you as hard as not having saved up anything…
