Special day today here at Super Cool Pets. Our girls are turning five. Carrot cake baked in a special bone-shaped non-stick cake pan and toffee ice cream all around. No chocolate, not good for doggies. The girls get very excited when the birthday candles are lit and sing along to "Happy Birthday" before they get their cake and ice cream.

Is Pet Insurance the Solution to Rising Vet Costs? Compare Plans
If you are finding that you are spending a nice chunk of your hard-earned dollars on pet care, you are not alone. According to the Dallas Morning News:
...owners are expected to spend a record $43 billion on their pets this year, $2 billion more than last year, according to a survey by the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.
About 67 percent of U.S. households own a pet, and chances are they spend half their pet costs on vet visits and over-the-counter medicine, the survey said.
Whereas a new toy for our pets may be optional, medical care is a necessity and it isn't getting any cheaper. The Dallas News article recommends pet insurance, as does WP's Taming Costly Vet Bills:
If your cat comes down with pneumonia, the bill could run $1,900. Cancer therapy for a dog averages nearly $3,600. James Busby, veterinarian and author of How to Afford Veterinary Care Without Mortgaging the Kids recommends that pet owners ask upfront about all treatment options and costs, including for routine care. For example, many vets vaccinate dogs every year. But according to an American Animal Hospital Association study, adult dogs need most shots only once every three years.
The typical insurance premium for a dog is about $40 per month -- that's $5,280 if a dog lives 11 years, the average canine life span in the United States. Policies usually cover illness and accidents, although some insurers provide only accident protection. A few policies cover preventive care, such as regular checkups and vaccines.
Payouts depend on the insurer, but it's common for companies to foot 80 percent of the bill. To compare the benefits, co-payments and deductibles of major pet insurers, go to http://www.petinsurancereview.com.

In our seemingly dog-eat-dog world (ha-ha), there are still a lot of people out there doing good things. One wine company, Cru Vin Dogs, "combines great wine, fine art, special dogs and worthy canine-related causes."
A minimum of 10% of their sales revenue on all wines, art, and merchandise is split between their charitable partners: Canine Companions for Independence and the Morris Animal Foundation's Cure Canine Cancer Campaign.
They say it best:
Cru Vin Dogs isn't your ordinary wine company. We exist to combine our passions--friendship, wine, art, and our love of dogs and worthy causes--into a wine brand with a purpose. Wine that gives back. Wine that makes a difference.
