Question
Hi, I'm debating on wether or not I should purchase dog insurance for my new 3 month old yorkshire terrier puppy.  Have you used it, and do you think it's really worth it? Is there any companies you can refer? Also, I'm trying to teach her to use the bathroom outside, but she refuses, she would rather go on her peepee pads inside the house.

Answer
Hello Irish and thank you for your questions,

I reccomend pet uinsurance yes, I am just getting my plans set up with Pet Plan, there website is: http://www.petplan.com/

You can get free quotes on there for your dog and the different types of plans as well. I am getting it because It dawned on me a few weeks ago that if any one of my 'babies' neeeded something forgen removed from there tummy or have a reaction to a bee sting or get in (god forbid) a vihicle acident I don't know how I would aford the treatment because even vaccines are very expencive these days.

For not wanting to go outsdie you could put a peed on peepee pad outsdie and then take her outthere after a bit she should learn that she goes on the grass outside or on the peepee pad outside, Of course if you leave a cold climite having her go on peepee pads inside wouldnt be so bad if it gets colder then -10.

I hope this helps if you have any more questione feel free to ask, thanks ~Dlee
