Pet Insurance - Need YOUR Help!

[Cinder & Smoke]

... you'd all be my favorite people in the whole world!

1) How do you usually pay for vet care? (Credit, Fund specifically for pets, Savings, etc)

"Routine Vet Visits" come out of the general household funds - not
a
"special account" just for the FurKids.
Now, lil Mini-Mutt's *million dollar Paw rebuild* was a bit of a *shocker* -
but nobody had to eat paenut butter to get her fixed up.

2) Do you have pet insurance? Why/Why not?

NO.
Why Not?
* It's a lot of money spent for some very limited paybacks. Most "conditions" have
limits, both yearly and life-time, that may not fully cover the required procedures.
* Pre-existing conditions aren't usually covered.
* Lower-priced policies often do not cover some conditions.

3) Do you feel knowledgable about the topic of pet insurance? Would you like to be better informed?

Not fully knowledgable, as in being an expert; but I HAVE done some
research and reviewed a few policies in the past.

YES - I can acceptmore information on the subject.

answers 1 and 2 are combined since they coorelate. I do have pet insurance but it is just for the routine maintenance and teeth cleaning... most visits I pay nothing.

If an illness comes up I pay for meds and extra things like xrays, the exam is covered, I think I break even I just pay a bit every month.

1) How do you usually pay for vet care? (Credit, Fund specifically for pets, Savings, etc) Usually by credit unless the bill isn't very much. I don't have a fund specifically for my pets.

2) Do you have pet insurance? Why/Why not?
No, but I used to when I had 4 cats. It got to be very expensive and then I learned that someone in the company had stolen a lot peoples credit card information so I had to cancel 2 of the credit cards that I had been using. It also doesn't pay for pre-existing conditions.

3) Do you feel knowledgable about the topic of pet insurance? Would you like to be better informed?
I feel fairly knowledgable but I'm sure that I could always learn more about it.
