Pet Insurance... - Page 1

 I have it for one of my dogs. I've only made one claim and was very happy to receive a $600 cheque in the mail only a week later. My premium didn't go up a cent! I will always have pet insurance, it really gives me piece of mind as I don't have the luxury of having a couple thousand in the bank account at any given time. I do have a savings fund, but we all know that vet bills can quickly sap away all of your extra cash. At least this way, I only pay 20%. Of course, you have to pay your vet in full, up front....but at least you know you'll get a decent cheque in a week or two. Many people say  "put $100 in a savings account each month instead". While that's a fine idea, many emergency vet bills exceed $1200 - then what do you do?!  At least with pet insurance, I know we're covered even if the bill is in the thousands. Why not get pet insurance and also put  "dog money" in with the rest of your savings. That way if something comes up, you have a nest egg AND you'll get 80% of your money back too. Many people think it's a waste of money, but I'm quite pleased with it.
