It'sofficial!

My pup is definately called Sapphire. I went to Pets at Home and got her name tag engraved with my phone number. So no going back now

Another thing, what do yu think of pet insirance and who do you think is good for it?

Great name

I think insurance is very important, and can be very confusing! I'm with Animal Friends myself. Its worth shopping around though Xx

Saphire is a lovely name for your little girl

I don't have pet insurance , but I do think it's a good idea

lovely name - however i was advised to put my name on not the dogs as it would stop a "would-be-thief" from actually knowing the dogs name

ive invested in insurance for woody as have heard horror stories of huge vets bills should something go wrong

I wouldn't put a name on your dog's id tag - it gives would be thieves a better chance of stealing your dog.

Insurance is a matter of preference - some people prefer to put aside a certain amount each month in case of emergencies, but if you haven't saved up enough, or if there's a third party claim you could have problems.

I took out insurance on Dempsey & I'm so glad I did. He's only 2 & a half years old, and so far he's cost over £5000 in vets bill & all I've had to pay is 3 x £75 which is the excess amount.

I did argue with myself over putting her name on the tag for the reasons of theft, but this being her very first tag i just had to put her name on it. Once she has had all of her immunisations i will be buying another with my address etc, but for now she isn't gonna be out of my sight so i see no harm just yet.

As for insurance i think i will speak with the other half and see what he thinks, he is the one who prefers to insure everything so i shouldn't think he would contest pet insurance.

Thanks guys

love it when you pick the name. i said lemmy's chip cert was his birth certificate LOL

Lovely name. I think pet insurance is a great idea and the earlier the better as they usually won't cover any prexisting conditions. Vet bills can get expensive quickly.
