• I looked at one plan it did not seem to be a bad plan and covered about everything and cost was fairly low. Pet Plan like $2hundred something year.

    Thanks for the link. I've been considering this as some plans are not all that expensive. For around $30/mo, it would be $1800 over 5 years in premiums and that leaves a ton of exposure for something to happen.

    I might pick up a policy sometime in the next year when Kananga turns 2 yrs old. Vet bills can be expensive.

    PurinaCare? Pet Health Insurance - seems like a solid choice from what I've read.


  • I guess I would rather put $30 a month into a special account just for the dog and then not have to worry about deductibles and non-coverage. I know vet bills can add up (when EL D got terminally ill it cost me about $2400) but I'd rather have all the possibilities covered than to find out an insurance won't cover this or that when you most need it.


  • I guess my worries are that I won't be disciplined enough to put the money aside, or to not touch it one it is there.
    I would want coverage for foreign body, bloat, broken bones, dislocated joints, and most of all cancer.


  • You should go to your bank and see if you can set up a special savings account where they deduct $30 a month from your checking account and deposit it in that savings account. Sort of like a vacation or Christmas account except you wouldn't neccessarily be making a yearly withdrawl.


  • We use VPI for our two. Fast response & great customer service. Rates vary per plan.


  • Just putting it out there…check with your car or homeowners company. They may offer it but not really advertise and you might get a break on price if you are already a client. I've seen commercials for Progressive auto that says that they automatically insure your pet as part of the auto policy. Don't know any details, just a commercial I've seen.
