HAHAHAHA!!!! Well, Karma doesn't skateboard, drink hooch or smoke, but she did get expelled from doggie daycare. It transpired that on occasion, when she would spot a dog who she didn't like the look of, Karma was a b***h. Poor girl, she loved going there SO much. And yes, the insurance paid for her behavioral consultation at our vet's office!

As I said way back in post 17 VPI in my opinion is the way to go. Its not perfect but nothing is. My only gripe is how the cost goes up as the dog gets older.

Pet insurance. The one your vet takes with terms you like best.

That is to be expected.

Veterinarians do not "take" any insurance. It's a different system than with human insurance. You go to any vet, you pay the bill, submit a claim and the insurance company reimburses you. Vets don't have the infrastructure to do medical billing through insurance companies, and thank goodness they don't, or they would have to charge us a lot more than they already do.

I completely agree with you on this! If only the system would be applied to human health insurance... nobody needs to know that you have one, and nobody's going to overcharge.

Pet insurance is actually great. We use Embrace.

This is the reason why I have pet insurance. If you pay an annual premium of $300, then it would take you 20 years to pay the insurance company $6,000. The good thing is that you're not obligated to stay with the insurance company. You can pay $300 for a year's worth of coverage, get reimbursed for $6,000 worth of procedures, and never renew your policy again. Once you charge $6,000 to your credit card, you are obligated to pay that whole amount plus interest depending on the terms you have.
