Call a local vet. They have information on pet insurances.

Insurance is available for dogs (and other pets), but it is almost as expensive as vet care. Call your local Humane Society -- they might be able to refer you to someone who will provide care at a discount.

The bottom line is that you should not own pets for which you cannot afford proper care!

Check out www.petinsurance.com VPI insurance has been around the longest.
Also there is a credit card just for vet care. www.carecredit.com.

Well, it's not exactly insurance, but I go through Banfield and they have a program where you pay 20$ or so a month and all of your dog's shots and wellness visits are take care of. Same with spay/neauter. You get a discount on emergencies as well.
