PET DOG INSURANCE

..PET DOG INSURANCE..

Changing life style, one way drags the present generation into a new dimension but the other way we are happy that we could see more and more animal lovers and pet owners in India. Almost every house has a pet dog or a watch dog. Some breeds are quite expensive to procure and maintain. Some maintain pedigree dogs not only as a status symbol but also for propagation of pure bred stock. A few kennels are famous for their stock of pedigree canines. The prize winning dogs and show dogs have at times very high values, depending on their breed, parentage, kennel club registration and their performance in prize shows.
To day a pedigree dog costs in India from Rs.10,000 to Rs.10 lacs.
