Molly has been on Trupanion since the day she came home 2 years ago (@ the age of 9 weeks).. We pay $48 every month with a $500 deductible. Seems like alot of $$.. but.. Bulldogs.. whatch'a going to do. Plus, Trupanion (IMHO) offered the best coverage (90%) including hip dysplasia and other items other insurance didn't cover.
So now that Kevin has turned the big 10-weeks-old... i started looking into adding him onto the plan (and in truth hoping for some type of multi-dog-discount).
$98 per month with the same $500 deductible... Ouch!
In the two years we've had Molly we've never made a claim! But we go to the vet all the time!! A great example would be two weeks ago.. we had a nice $350 vet visit due to somebody (KEVIN!!!) scratching Molly's eye (its all healed up now.. btw). The insurance wasn't much help.
However... we've paid ~$1200 over the past two years.
So... Getting to the point of my post.. Has anybody setup a 'Medical Savings Plan' for their EB? I'm starting to think just putting $1.2k a year ($100 a month) into a high-yield savings account would give me more bang for my buck.
