Does anybody have insurance for their B? What company do you use? What's your experience or opinion on it. I'm considering getting some coverage for Buddy.
Some of the plans have restrictions for each breed. I would double check the restrictions for Basenjis. I know one of the plans I checked a few years ago was more expensive per month for Basenjis than some of the other breeds.
I didnt know about pine needles either. I have pine trees all around my house. Though I don't think they would forage on them. But if the tree was in the house it would be a different story. For sure they would have it knocked down the second I got it up. I opted for a fake tree and put it in a room they dont usually have access to.
Thank you for the good info!
