Is pet insurance worth it for a English Setter?
On expected value, pet insurance is optional for English Setter owners. As a large breed, the English Setter's expected health costs are usually below total premiums — coverage is better viewed as protection against a rare, catastrophic bill than as a way to save money.

Enroll your English Setter as early as possible — ideally as a puppy. Most pet insurance plans have waiting periods (14–30 days for illness, 6–12 months for orthopedic conditions), and pre-existing conditions are excluded from coverage.
