For many, our pets are like our children. We love them with all our heart and suffer when they get sick. As with our children, we make sure they receive the best care that we have at our disposal, we take our pets the best vet.
The ideal of course is prevention. Giving them their shots on time is imperative and of course give them adequate food for their size and age. It is also important to take them to their periodic reviews.
But unfortunately, dogs and cats can contract serious diseases that are not preventable. Cancer is one of them. Fortunately today there are very good treatments that can prolong the lives of our furry children and improve their quality of life.
However, these treatments are very expensive. For this reason there is pet’s health insurance, which operate much like health insurance for humans.
The owner must buy when their dog or cat is young and healthy. Pay a monthly fee regardless of whether or not using services, and when they use the insurance they should cover the deductibles and / or co-payments under the policy.
I find it an excellent choice to be prepared in case of having to face an unfortunate disease with the darlings of the house.
The Lhasa Apso is a small dog with long hair, which helps him to keep out the cold and sunlight in the area of Tibet, where it originated.
Breeders speak of heights averaging 25 to 28 cm and weights from 8 to 9 kilos. It has a strong structure and the hair is abundant and in two layers. There are different colors, gold, black, gray, honey, sand and multicolor (white mixed with another). But the most common is gold. Its tail is high and very hairy.
It has a cheerful and playful personality. This dog is like a small child, is very affectionate with his master, and like young children, is very jealous if you are paying attention to children or other dogs. This is important to consider this when deciding if this dog is right for your family.
We should also note that it is a dog that needs care. His long hair tends to tangle and create knots, so daily brushing is imperative.
