Pet Insurance

Do anyone have insurance for their pet? Since Hayley's little accident I have been researching some pet insurance and I was just wondering if anyone had pet insurance and if they thought it was worth the money. I have been leaning more towards PetCare.

Pet Insurance is a great idea.

It gives me peace of mind as I know that we are covered up to £4000 per complaint per year, per cat.

We use Pet Plan but I think they are just an English firm.

I have PetCare insurance for my two. The cats came with a free 3 months of Shelter Care Insurance and I just converted it to a regular PetCare policy. At less than $10 per cat per month, I figure it's well worth it if any of my cats should become seriously ill or injured. I spent over $2,000 in a couple of months with Goldie's cancer and don't want to repeat that experience. It doesn't cover normal "maintenance" like yearly vaccinations or even dental care, but it does cover bites (wounds, abscesses), lacerations, urinary tract diseases, cancer, diabetes, infectious diseases, foreign body ingestion (string, etc.), burns, fractures, asthma, poison ingestion, and the medications used to treat these conditions. It just gives me peace of mind to know I have it; I just hope I never need it.

I think I may go ahead and purchase this insurance. I hope I never have to use it but I think I would feel a lot better if I had it available just in case.
