Dear Mum and Dad,

Pooch and I are feeling a little unloved at the moment because all the 2 legged members of our family have health insurance, but you have neglected us 4 legged members of the family.

Should I point out how much a trip to the vet costs if Pooch or I happened to be injured or fall sick? All I will say is the amount usually starts with an A and ends with lot.

Which brings me to the next point - have you seen the way Pooch puts his nose in the air and gets that strut going when Miss Labrador walks past the front fence with her owner. He even starts to howl a serenade and although dog serenades are not the same as cat serenades, I believe it is the doggy serenade of love. He tries to jump the fence and one day he is going to achieve this...... and then - oh I can hardly bear to think what might happen to him and the vet fees that could follow.

What if I was to break a leg while I was performing the noble duty of keeping the birds and mice out of the rafters and trees? There is literally danger everywhere and you have not provided insurance for our peace of mind, not to mention how much lighter your bill fold would be if we were injured.

Pooch and I are struggling with the knowledge that Pet Health Insurance is so affordable and yet you have neglected it obtain it - almost makes us depressed and I don’t know if there is a pet anti-depressant pill.

For the sake of your bill fold and also your peace of mind we urge you to obtain Pet Health Insurance for us 4 legged members of the family before there is an emergency or some other problem that necessitates a trip to the vet, because that is going to hurt.

Regards,

Pussy and Pooch.

PS We forgive you for neglecting this, but don’t let it happen again.... and a nice piece of fresh Salmon for me and a new toy for Pooch would go some way to making it up to us.

PPS Also remember dogs have masters - cats have servants, so if it comes down to just one policy then I am the one.
