Do you have Pet Insurance?
If so who is through? Do you think it is worth it?

Re: Do you have Pet Insurance?
no but Ollie does, haha. She has VPI and I'm not sure if it's worth it but I have it because I'm nervous to cancel it in case she god forbid ever needs surgery or something like that. It did cover a lot of her puppy shots and check ups.

Re: Do you have Pet Insurance?
Not for my cats. I do have it for one of my horses... but mortality and major medical / surgical insurance for horses is MUCH different than it is for small animals. My other horse was insured, but has now aged out and is not eligible.
I think I asked a question about this topic not long ago and people posted some explanations of the small animal policies. You might find it if you do a search.

Re: Do you have Pet Insurance?
We do.
Honestly with the way the vets charge for everything it's worth the peace of mind IMO.
It's not all that much money either- depending on the age of your pet, etc.
We did a lot of research and honestly- this place was the best.
VPI Pet Insurance
They cover 90% of almost everything and you can pick and choose what coverage you want. You go to any vet you want and just submit the invoice with a claim form and they mail you a check....

Re: Do you have Pet Insurance?
Buddy has VPI and it paid for itself every year. Buddy has a lot of medical issues so I'm so glad I was paranoid and got it when he was a puppy

Re: Do you have Pet Insurance?
Sadler had VPI. That was until we moved out west and the vets in our area don't accept it. Besides that the vets are alot cheaper out here. I paid $30 a month for the superior plan and it was so worth it. It paid for itself!
It covered shots, check ups, spay.neuter, testing, etc. Sadler was in the hospital 2x for gastritis.

Re: Do you have Pet Insurance?
I have VPI and its worth it. They pay around 30-40 % for most of the claims I submit. They have never refused a claim. I like it. I have had it since he was a puppy.
My mother had it for our family dog, he had congestive heart failure. He lost his battle probably 3-4 years afeter being diagnosed. She was always concerned they would drop her every year she had to renew, and they never did. I recommend them to everyone.

We used to have VPI and it never seemed to be worth it in the end.
