ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

My mom's two dogs were always the trouble makers when it came to vet bills, and she eventually got pet insurance for both of them and added my dog as well. I figured I wouldn't need it. Insurance for ourselves is a given, but it's been completely worth it to have it for my dog Joe. Minus some minor very obscure incidents, he didn't have any real problems until July 2012 when he broke his canine tooth and needed surgery. This was about $500. Then in August 2013 he had major bloat with mild symptoms to say the least. This is a serious problem if your dog experiences this, so I took him to the vet one morning and by early afternoon he was in surgery. His stomach and spleen were twisted in half, and he had a 4lb fatty tumor pushing on his stomach. This vet trip was over $3000. Most recently, he had two lumps on his side, requiring yet another surgery for about $600. Because none of these were pre consisting medical problems, my insurance covered the vet bills. In just two years I'd racked up over $4000 in vet bills, and if I didn't have insurance for Joe I don't know what I would have done. I pay $30/month, and it has been completely worth it. Like many people, I don't have that kind of money at my disposal, and the ASPCA has been wonderful (I also adopted my dog from one of the ASPCA shelters in Nevada). They called me after each surgery just to ask how Joe was doing, and they really, honestly cared. This means so much to me.

I always considered pet insurance after experiencing the medical bills associated with a medical emergency visit to the Vet. However, I didn't purchase any until 6 months after getting my second dog and starting a new job that offered the pet insurance benefit to its employees. I covered both Xavier and Oliver. Wow, what a life saver!! About six months into the coverage, Oliver, my youngest dog had an issue that required me having to visit the emergency vet clinic and being referred to a specialist. It all ending with a whooping bill that could have caused a crippling financial burden on my budget if not for having ASPCA. Thankfully, Oliver has fully recover mainly due to me not having to decide against taking him to receive the treatment. Knowing ASPCA would cover some of the cost allowed me to be free to get him the treatment needed.

I discovered a mast cell on the end if "Indy's" penis. Surgery was done and they got it all. Aspca very helpful and concerned about the after care. Before this I had another well known pet insurance. Did not like their attitude at all. So I switched to ASPCA and Im glad I did.

Ater a long, chronic and expensive illness, I lost my cat.I then adopted a senior (10year old) cat and realized that obtaining health insurance for her would be a smart idea. Not too long after I insured her with ASPCA, this healthy girl completely stopped eating for 4 days. Diagnosing her problem was extensive and expensive...but she recovered. I submitted a claim, supplied the necessary information and, within a very short time, received a settlement - no fuss, no muss - just a fair review and a considerate response. It certainly helped and I am very pleased with ASPCA pet insurance.

When I applied for pet insurance, my doggie was very healthy.I just thought if I have insurance for me, why not for her. Thank goodness! She had a mysterious swelling that could not be identified without testing. She was treated by wonderful Vet and is her old playful self again. My claim was processed and paid very professionally.
