Choosing the best pet insurance is always a hard decision. Carthage Veterinary Hospital recommends Pumpkin Pet Insurance.

Pet insurance is beneficial for multiple reasons!

For example, unlike human health insurance policies, pet insurance allows you to pick your veterinarian. You simply provide the veterinary bill to the insurance company for reimbursement of qualified expenses.

Secondly pet insurance does not discriminate against any breed or age of pet.

Most pet insurance policies reimburse up to 80% of costs after deductibles.
This allows for an easy way to budget your pet's costs. Pet insurance policies can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Decide which plan works best for you!

Why Do You Walk That Way Wednesday? 😬

Everyone say hello to Cooder Beaux Theriot! He has been living his best life since 2010, swimming, running, jumping, and not a care in the world. I mean look at him he even was keeping up on his workout routine, way better than Dr. Yates, his veterinarian 😉.

Now you may be wonder why we are telling you about Cooder Beaux? Well truth is ole Cooder is slower moving these days. Hip dysplasia is what Dr. Yates has told him. Now Dr. Yates knows what Cooder is going through because Dr. Yates wouldn't pass a breeding soundness exam himself 🤨 but Cooder is in need of some pain relief.

Dr. Yates has recommended the Librela once monthly injection to Cooder. Now you may think to yourself, Cooder isn't that bad, but stay tuned for video updates! First will be the pain that is watching Cooder walk up stairs 😔
