Most policies have a life-time maximum payout that is unreasonable considering the cost of the policy, and some cover only certain specified conditions and only for certain amounts. I finally decided to self-insure, instead. I opened a small savings account just for Holly and Duffy, and I have added a small amount to it every month since then. That was 2-1/2 years ago, and it is building because I have never touched it. It is "reserved" for unexpected and expensive procedures, not for routine exams. MaryL |

Warning: Pet insurance usually doesn't cover vaccinations. Silly if you
ask me, you'd have thought they would want to minimise the risk of a pay out! I've never had pet insurance, too many restrictions. For years we had two credit cards with a total value of about =A32,000, which were labelled "Emergencies only" and they were for the cats. Now we have some money put by so we are covered for vet bills. (The irony being that this is money from my mum's estate and she was not a cat fan!) I think Mary L's idea is best of all. I ought to put some funds in a seperate account for the furballs Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

No No No.
We had it at one time. If an animal is very sick & needs to be put down, you have to have the opinion of several vets while your beloved pet suffers. I understand why they have this rule, but would never have the insurqance again. Yes, we had our beloved Chirpie put down & did not use the insurance. We paid for it. Beware of pet insurance.
