My dad told me that his friend got health insurance for his dog. The poor dog just recently got leg surgery and what would’ve costed ,000 only costed because of animal insurance. Does anyone know where I can look for insurance for my dog. I need to get him a check- up and neutered.
Thanks 4 the answers. How do I get my dog registered at the AKC? Yes he’s a purebred 2yr. old Golden Retriver. I don’t have any papers from his previous owner yet.

Did the seller/breeder tell you the parents were AKC registered? If they were then the pup should have been sold with papers unless they sold the pup on a spay/neuter contract, and will not provide papers until pup has been altered. If the parents are not AKC registered then you can not register with AKC the only thing you can do is apply for an ILP from the AKC. The AKC website has all of this info and instruction on how, but if you do not plan on showing your dog in the breed ring(if neutered you can’t anyways) or in obedience you do not need papers.

I have had this with my dog for two years now…about $120 a year.
He got very sick when he was a puppy and his bill was about $1500…this insurance paid for all but $100.

The AKC carries insurance for dogs if your dog is recognized by them. Also, your dog must be a pure breed to take advantage of this insurance. With a little proof and paperwork, your dog will be doing well.
just go online and google for pet insurance. take a look at several ones. also, if your dog has EVER been sick, they most likely will NOT accept him. look carefully. my neighbors dog is real sick, and for 3 hospital visits this week its already cost $2000. hopefully, your dog hasn’t been sick.
