Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    Hi everyone, I was not sure where to post this, so, sorry, if this is not the most appropriate place. I am working with friends on a project to help improve lives and lower the abandonment rate of dogs. It's called Edumal (EDUcating our aniMALs) and was inspired by the rescue dog Magu. Can you help us with our information collecting? We have a short 7 question survey. You will receive a 20% voucher for online dog training through our project website, EduMal.tv
    Every little bit counts!

    Survey title: Dog Training to Improve the Lives of Dogs

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7ZLMJS5

    Thank you for your help!
    Woof! Woof!

    @mnbadger - I have not had any experience with that (in 30+ yrs of raising Basenjis) but I would say nothing different

    You would be surprise what the tax is going to hit. I am in the medical equipment business with a manufacturing company and it is amazing what is going to be taxed, down to the smallest little nut and bolt…. Day to day Vet care may not be directly impacted, but for surgery centers/specialists and care involving surgery (which is expensive enough), these costs for procedures will increase. Something to keep in mind when putting money away for that "rainy day"...

    @smharr4: I also have a Care Credit card (http://www.carecredit.com/) which will allow me to pay the bill at the vet immediately, then I can just transfer the money between bank accounts (which takes a few days) so the Care Credit card is payed off before any interest accrues. At least one of our local vets also has a 'promissory note' payment scheme where you pay half when you pick up your pet then spreads the rest out over 3-4 months, that can come in handy too sometimes. Thanks for the tip. I will ask my vet if he has any 'promissory note' scheme. That sounds good, and…yes it would come in handy!

    We use PetCare Insurance & considering how many times I've been to the Vet this year with one dog alone :eek: I think it's SO worth it :) I also think that if (heavens forbid) your dog ever got into a serious injury that required surgery or long term care that would be insanely expensive. And most people would opt not to go through with it at the risk of losing their beloved dog. Like most insurance policies you're paying a premium for the potential possibilities that you'll need it one day…life insurance (I've been paying forever & every year I neve cash in LOL :D), medical insurance, homeowners insurance...etc.
