Because?........

when clients ask about pet insurance I like to give the correct (or best) answer, VPI is the longest tenured, certainly veterinarian friendly with a simple form to sign with the diagnosis

Because Honor spent 8 days in ICU with a melting corneal ulcer, and they reimbursed me $340.00. Without that care and treatment, he would no longer be running.... and he would not have won that "Killer" Charlie Hines open using the Ranger standard at Watopa this spring. Up until then, I've always been happy with their service.

Purportedly, they are not so schedule heavy on injuries with Pet Plan. They purportedly pay for hereditary stuff, and you can pick your coverage...

You can pick your co-insurance, deductible and coverages: $8000, $12,000, $20,000 annually.

I've just submitted my first claim with them. So, we'll see how it goes. The proof is in the puddin' so to speak. I used the website Ted just cited about Pet Insurance reviews to make my decision.

not much reason to have insurance with them for sure

Thanks, I'll remove their brochures from my reception area

PetPlan also covers c-sections-not sure if the others do.

I checked PetPlan out. Pretty good coverage. I feel dumb for not giving it much thought before. For Gold coverage, $200 deductible, and 100% coverage is $285 a year. For single dogs, there is a only small differnce in price between the least and most coverage at the $200 deductible level.

I have a friend who had to put down his dog due to money. After spending $4K, he was tapped out. Less than $1 a day is worth the peace of mind I will not have to face a similar situation.

The funny this is now my insurance which covers my wife cost the exact same as the dog's!

I went to the petplan website via the post that Ted put up.

I can not find any Wellness coverage like vaccines or well checks. Is that something that is foreign to pet insurance and their policies?

I didn't look for wellness plans. AKC, Pets Best, and ASPCA all have wellness plans, but they did not seem cost effective to me

I am looking for insurance to cover the big hit
