Who has a health care plan for their yorkie? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Darlene68 · 03-21-2010, 02:58 PM

This is something I'm looking in to for Bailey, I'm terrified something will happen and since we only have one vet here the cost is unbelievably high for even the simplest care. I'm so confused about what to get, I've never had a pet health plan before. Can you all share who you are with and how much you pay per month? Thanks, I would appreciate it

I have insurance on Apple, and pay $17.00 a month...I had to send her vet records, to show that she was clear of any issues, before they wrote the policy...However, this is the only plan I could find that would cover any issues that would come up that were pre-disposed to the breed....Like luxating patella, liver shunt, etc...It's $200 deductible, and pays up to $8000 a yr. for illness or injury...I think I would pay about 10% coinsurance for treatment and some thing 30%...Anyway, for $17 a month, it gives me peace of mind...If you decide to go w/my plan, mention me, and I'll get a free month ...I think it's called PetPlan??? I have the bronze policy...I need to get Buzz on there, pretty soon...Maybe, after writing this, I'll do that...

Thanks for the information. I am also looking into pet insurance for my 3 month old yorkie, Trixie. If I choose PetPlan, I will be sure to mention you.

I have Embrace Pet Insurance, it is around $17 a month also!

Wow, That's really inexpensive, I am not sure if that is available in Canada, but will have to look! I will mention you if I join them

I'm in Canada (Vancouver) and with PC Financial. It's $27/mo and $100 deductible and $2000 of coverage per accident and $2000 of coverage per illness in her lifetime.

I'm in Canada too, that one sounds good to me, I just checked their website. Some of the lower cost plans offer very little coverage, this plan seems pretty decent.
