Pet Insurance???????
« on: July 17, 2005, 04:03:11 am »
Just wanted to know if pet insurance was worth it?  I have been surfing around and looking but I am not impressed with anything I see.  Since I am now adding a larger dog with larger medical expenses i thought it might be a good idea.  Seems to me that you have to pay upfront and then submit a claim....do they really pat it? Also most have clauses that don't cover congenital problems or elective procedures.  So a costly hip surgery or a preventive gastropexy are not covered.  So what does everyone think?  And if you have it - have you used it?  Just Wondering

There was actually just a thread about this topic. You can read the responses here: http://bigpawsonly.com/index.php/topic,1717.0.html

I personally do not think that pet insurance (for the most part) is a great idea for big dogs, since the majority of their health issues are not covered.
