I know there is a chance your dog might need an expensive surgery but there is also a good chance that the insurance will screw you around and make it almost impossible to collect. I wouldn't buy it, not worth it IMO.
+1 with putting money aside. The problem with this is that not many people can diligently put $37 a month aside and not touch it.

I also think it depends on the breed of dog you have. Seems like smaller & pure bred dogs are more prone to injuries/issues. One of my friends has spent probably close to 10k in the last year with surgery, etc.
