Worth It

Our most recent claim involved a late night trip to the emergency vet, xrays and ultrasounds -- none of which are cheap. Submitted $1400 worth of claims and received $800 back from ASPCA, which more than paid for the year's premiums. Adding to the overall value is the pleasant customer service team, who have consistently been friendly, sympathetic and helpful on the phone. My one complaint would be what I feel is ASPCA's unfair comparison of what they consider the fair/average rate for vet services as they don't seem to take geography into account; EVERYTHING is much more expensive in NYC, so not accurate to base reimbursement on what the going rate is in other states/cites. Regardless, still worth it.

Saved our cat's life and improved ours!

We've had the pet insurance for a few years, but finally had an incident where we REALLY needed it. My cat had a serious illness and had to be rushed to the emergency vet and kept overnight for several days--and have surgery. Two hours after we had to drop him at the ER, my husband sprained his ankle and was out of work without pay for 4 weeks. Luckily we had the ability to front my cat's medical expenses, but even more importantly we didn't hesitate to take on all of the mounting costs for my cat because we knew we'd have 80% reimbursement (at least until our maximum amount per illness at our level). Without that knowledge, it might have been a heart wrenching decision to make simply because of a lack of finances. The reimbursement literally saved my cat's life and helped us pay our mortgage the next month. Correspondence with the claims department was fast and easy.

It is a comfort for me.

I have no complaints. I have Level 2 and it seems to suffice. One of our cats developed a brain tumor. Specialist suggested an MRI ($2000.00) and brain surgery($ ??). I love my pets, but I would never put an animal through something like that. Our regular vet agreed with us and we had to let Jake go. ASPCA paid for most of the basic treatment and the end of life. I guess the decision is personal, but Level 2 is very good.

Satisfied with the plan.

Only issue I had was that it seemed to take longer than I expected after submission of the claim to reimburse me for services. Other than that, I have been satisfied with the services provided.

So far,so good

I have 2 dogs and got ASPCA Pet Insurance when they were pups, so far they have been basically healthy. ASPCA has paid for 80% of their little illnesses after the deductible of $100, which doesn't come close to the annual fee, however as they get older, sadly that will probably change.

Monthly Cost

Rates start at: $10 (for accident only), $16 (Complete Coverage). Rates vary based on species, age, breed, and location.

Coverage

The pay-out amount is based on the actual vet bill, at a rate pre-selected by the customer: 90%, 80% or 70%

Payout Limits

Annual limits can be set by the customer, ranging from $2,500 to $20,000, including an unlimited option. No lifetime limits.

Deductible

$100, $250 or $500 annually.

Age Limits

No upper age limits. Pets must be at least 8 weeks old to enroll.

Waiting Period

There are no waiting periods for preventive care. Coverage begins 14 days after date listed on policy for accidents, illnesses, and knee/ligament conditions.

Exclusions

Pre-existing conditions, cosmetic procedures and breeding costs are not covered. ASPCA Pet Health Insurance has two Preventive Care plans that can be added to help cover a pet’s wellness care, including annual exams, vaccinations, tests, dental cleanings and flea/heartworm preventive. Preventive Care plans reimburse up to a set amount for each listed treatment. If your pet exhibited symptoms of a knee and ligament condition at any time, prior to enrollment or during a waiting period, all ligament and knee conditions will be excluded. Ligament and Knee are conditions involving a ligament, patella, meniscus or soft tissue disorder of the knee. Accident-Only coverage available.
