Looking for feedback on the pros and cons of pet insurance and the various pet insurance companies.
I recently brought home a shihtzu puppy and she'll be due her 2nd set of vaccines by the 3rd week of August. I also moved to Scarborough right before the whole pandemic started so I haven't really had the chance to get chatty with neighbours who own dogs either. I've read a ton of google reviews on ...
Seems a new-to-science cat parvovirus (another type used to be deadly to dogs) seems to have appeared in Quesnel, B.C. and then got transferred to the SPCA shelter in Vancouver.

We'd be first time pet owners and we have two toddlers (2 and 4 years old). It seems that every rescue dog I've looked at online r...

In case people are wondering, this bylaw was passed by a 37-24 margin. For those that aren't aware, it is an "animal control policy" knee jerked after the death of a woman in Montreal, mauled by a supposed pitbull type dog, that in fact was a boxer.
