My employer is now offering Pet insurance. I am awaiting the cost and coverage information to arrive. I was wondering if anyone had insurance on their furbabies and if they had ever used it. I am eager to see what it covers. Bella is due to be spayed and have one baby tooth pulled...and then there is the occassional luxating patella issue. I am hoping it covers xrays and surgical procedures if ever Bella would need them.
So, anyone had pet insurance experiences?? Thanks

I have Pet Insurance and am glad that I don't even second guess "should I go to the Vet"; I just go. It doesn't cover regular check-ups, needles and procedures but is great for illnesses and accidents.

I have VPI and have been very pleased with it. I pay 23.00 a month for each of my yorkies. I have had to use it a lot unfortunately and they paid quite a bit. You can purchase the routine benefit but I didn't

Wow, Pet Insurance from your work benefits? That's crazy!

That's great that your work is offering it. Maybe you'll get a break on the price.

I know...I have great human benefits. Because I work for a hospital they right off the 20% not covered for any services used at my hospital. This includes all their walk in clinics. I do feel fortunate. Am eager to see the pet benefits!! They also cover domestic partners!
