    Thanks all, this is the pet plan we are on.

    https://www.villagevets.ie/free-visits

    As a pup it's covered his monthly checkups, 12 week vaccination and some drugs (with a 12 euro surcharge) so so far it's been good value for money.

    Will have a think about the insurance, thought I had read that anything diagnosed was only covered for 12 months ? As a pup we should have time to still insure and fingers crossed it's not needed.

    We have Village Vet’s pet plan as well. Good for a puppy (as you will have so many different small issues that you want the vet to take a look), but once the pup is fully grown, it’s less likely that you need to visit them that often. Still we visited the vet for around 6-7 times in the last year so 220 euro isn’t too bad.

    For insurance, we have our plan with PetInsurance.ie. They have 3 levels of insurances. The medium level covers the same condition for 12 months. The top level covers it for lifetime.

    We bought the medium level but in hindsight we should have gone for the top level. Some progressive issues like hip replacement will require more scans and eventually a surgery over more than a year’s time.

    Whatever you're doing make sure you have quick access to cash either way as not all vets will do direct claim for insurance and we can't always plan ahead... We unfortunately found ourselves at ucd emergency :( at the weekend and had to pay in full. I'd never be without insurance, the pet plan is not for me as I don't buy food from the vet or use flea/worm treatments.
