Rocky Goodwin is a young Doberman pinscher and his owners would like to plan for his anticipated healthcare needs. As part of your assessment, you create a personalized pet care profile for Rocky. The owners are impressed but also a bit worried, because there seems to be a lot that could go wrong with Rocky that they had not considered.

You explain that most of the issues are fairly routine and common for all pets, such as parasite control and vaccinations, but that each pet does carry some unique risks for health issues, and that the best way to deal with these is to diagnose them as early as possible, when there is the best chance for effective management. The owners consent to a lifetime of optimal care for their pet, and decide that pet health insurance is a good mechanism for managing some of their concerns regarding the costs of Rocky's healthcare (see 10.16 Pet Health Insurance).
