Pet Insurance Recommendations

Hi all,

I received an email today that our pet insurance company will no longer be insuring pets effective in May(?). That being said, I know just how important pet insurance is for EBs and ours has been a saving grace many times throughout our dog's life. So, I'm on the hunt for a new pet insurance policy - which companies have you had a great experience with? For reference, we have a four year old EB with no real medical history other than some allergies and a few ear infections here and there. Also, would love to know if your policies include surgical procedures as well? Our current one did not cover any of his BOAS surgery this past November, but would love to find a company that will at least cover some surgical expenses if something does come up down the road. Thanks!

Here you go…..

If you have a dog, please PLEASE get pet insurance!

My take is that you NEVER know when an emergency happens, and you won’t feel it until you're in a life and death situation. You think bad things like this don’t happen, but they actually do, accidents can happen, puppies eat everything they see and it can cause blockage. It’s annoying having a...

Perhaps consider opening a savings account at your bank and put some money in it each month. I have an account set up just for this purpose. (I face the same issue of rising rates with my long term care insurance for ME! I started it 20 years ago for $35/month. My premium went up to $70, then $120 and this month $170! And the benefit payments should I go into care have dropped! All those years paying into that policy-I'd have been better off putting that money in a savings account!)

I'm happy with this insurance company . I chose an 80/20 plan with a deductible, and a wellness plan . My guy is 7 years old and he had no real issues, the piece of mind is worth it to me, you may want to check them out. https://www.petsbest.com/dog-insurance
Been with then going 5 years.

I also use Pets Best and have had no issues. Only thing that is annoying is that it takes about a month to get reimbursed. I have a 90/10 plan with $500 deductible. My girl has been hospitalized twice with pneumonia and had palate surgery plus she is on a long term med. They have always paid my claims no questions asked.
