But what about our dogs? Should we also be extremely concerned about medical coverage for them too? I mean, they also get sick and may get unexpectedly hurt!

There is no definitive answer to this question, and pet health insurance is a complex topic to try unravel. While some insurance policies cover procedures and vet visits, most of them require the upfront payment and reimburse you at a later stage. Depending on your financial situation, this might not be an option for you. Other policies only cover partial costs, leaving you with bills regardless of your payments.
