I have a few announcements to make…
First thing is, this weekend on the 21st at 2pm is the reunion. If you haven’t rsvp and want to come, just let me know! It will be a hot one but we have shade, the pool, and will have ways for both people and dogs to cool off.
Second, I wanted to let future families know that I’ve now enrolled as a breeder with Trupanion Pet insurance. All of our puppies will now be covered for the first 30 days after leaving us with their insurance and all waiting periods will be waived. It will be good for 30 days and will cover 90% of all bills incurred in the case of a medical illness or emergency with a $250 deductible. All the puppies will go home with all the info on it. You can also choose to keep it for longer if you choose at a discounted rate or let it run out. This is for not only my protection but the buyers protection as well. But for those that are worried about things like parvo or major illness, puppies ingesting something they shouldn’t, or an injury that incurs after first bringing the puppy home. This is something that would’ve came in handy when I brought Kilani home when she ripped her eye from the chicken wire and also when I thought she injured herself from scaling the side of a 5ft kennel wall and jumping from the top. Both occurrences ended up costing me thousands of dollars worth of X-rays, ER visits, and stiches. Then when it didn’t heal right we had to bring her into a specialist for extra treatment. Had i had this insurance on her, I would have been out a whole $300-350, and that’s it! I don’t carry insurance on my females because I breed and the cost is crazy high! But if I were buying a dog for a pet home only with no chance of breeding in the future, it’s something I would definitely have on any and all pets. The cost of vets is high, as is everything these days, and insurance just helps take some of that worry away. If you get your pet from a reputable breeder there’s very small chances of major genetic things going wrong since we screen our breeding parents according to breed standard first. But that never takes away the risk of illness or injury with owning a pet. And I can assure you Goldens are notorious for being mouthy and putting stuff in their mouths and eating things they shouldn’t! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had my own dogs eat houseplants, walls, baseboards, rocks, underwear, socks, sticks, shoes, countless remote controls (thats one of our dogs favorite things), toys, etc. over the years of owning them. I thankfully have never had an impaction but have many families who have had to pay thousands for the surgery with theirs. I know when you fork out so much for the purchase of a dog, then have to pay for vet visits and the vaccines they require, it all starts to add up. This just takes the worry out of any further costs that could potentially be incurred.
And if any other reputable breeders would like info on this, please contact me and I can refer you on how to enroll to protect your buyers. I do not get any kickbacks from this company! I have been asked by families many times on insurance plans that are good and after doing some research myself, this is one of the best in terms of price, deductibles, coverage, and waiting periods.
