I also have a guide dog.  Although I am coming through Md, I live in
California.  When I got my present guide dog, I did check into
insurrance.  Some vets have literature in their offices.  The cost of
the polocies were about sixty dollars a year.  They do not cover routeen
visits, the polocy I looked at did not have good coverage for ex-ray
procedures, and the dog needed to be enrolled in the polocy while he was
very young otherwise the cost really isn't worth it.  I decided it
wasn't worth it because my dog was almost two years ole and I think they
wanted you to begin when he was just a pup.
