there are exclusions and limitation that everyone should read before purchasing. Accident coverage starts 24 hours after start date. Illness coverage starts 14 days after. Nothing pre-existing is covered and there may even be an issue if it's a different disease presenting with the same symptoms. If it's a curable disease, you can ask for an exemption so that it's covered if it happens again (like for UTIs, etc.).

Also LP and CCL tears aren't covered for 6 months (so if they get symptoms of either within the first 6 months, it's pre-existing and won't be covered at all). You can shorten the time it takes to get these things covered, but a vet has to certify that they are okay on exam. But if they are not okay on exam, then these issues suddenly because pre-existing and they will never be covered (if that makes sense). Also, I think they only cover one CCL tear in a twelve month period. Embrace is probably very similar.

BTW, it's so high (at $45) because I chose the lowest copay and lowest deductible. You may be able to get a plan for much less. Because my vet's office does endoscopy, some ultrasounds, extensive dentistry, some ortho, etc., and I really trust them to take care of my pups, I knew the bills could get pretty high there. So the $0 copay made sense for us. If I thought we were going to live at a specialist's office or offices (just not my thing), then I would have probably gone for a company that did 90% reinbursement for specialists instead of 80%.

You can go to any of their sites and get a free quote.

I don't think I'll have another dog w/o insurance.
I love my PetPlan insurance and added my new puppy Austen, as soon as I got him home. The claim process is simple and refund is prompt. I too, chose the gold plan with the lowest copay and for the highest coverage of $20k. We had our first year's premiums covered with only one urgent care (pancreatitis) and then were ahead of premiums after an ER visit bloody stools. I always pray we do not have to use it - but the knowledge that we have it; eliminates any and all fears of what something may cost.
