Older dogs can be wonderful companions. They’re already trained, generally calm and happy to just hang out on the couch with you. If you have a senior dog, you know how rewarding it can be.
Unfortunately, senior dogs also tend to incur higher vet costs than younger ones. Pet insurance can help you pay for these expenses, but coverage can cost more for senior dogs since they have a higher chance of illness, injury and age-related health issues like hearing and vision loss. So is it worth paying for coverage if your dog has reached its senior years? Or are you better off skipping it altogether? That’s the question we will discuss below.
