ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

My dog was diagnosed with bone cancer early in Feb. Since it is a fast acting cancer I had to make quick decisions regarding her treatment. It was very helpful to me knowing that I had health insurance for her so while I had to consider the financial implications I knew that I had some protection for her. This allowed me to think more about the treatment than the cost. Once she had her surgery - she had to have her front right paw amputated - she had a difficult recovery at first. Many of her original expenses and extra expenses were covered. This was a great deal of help to me financially not to mention peace of mind. I was able to choose her treatment based upon what I thought was best for her. I'm happy to say that today 3 1/2 months later she is doing well, in good spirits and no sign of the cancer coming back. We hope things stay that way. I should also mention that I didn't purchase this insurance until she was almost 11 years old. I don't recommend that but I was surprised that I was able to get her coverage at that advanced age. My claims were processed quickly and any time I've spoken to a customer support person they have been very kind and helpful. I have recommended to all my friends who are pet owners that they should seriously consider purchasing pet insurance.

I purchased this insurance as an AFLAC type plan. I have primary insurance for my heeler, now 7, through Banfield. However after Samantha was attacked by a neighbor's dog and needed emergency care and surgery (which Banfield did not provide) I decided that we needed somehting extra, as a just in case. We have used it a few times for things that were not covered at Banfield. They people at ASPCA are very friendly. helpful, and quick to respond. Very happy.

Handled claims quick.

In March 2011 our 10 month old Lab/German Shepard puppy started having loose stool and slight lack of appetite. After about 3 days of this, I took her to the vet and took an exray to make sure she hadn't eaten anything that she shouldn't, no she did not. He also took some blood. Her tests came back fine so he treated her for colitis (bad spelling, sorry). She was on antibiotics for a while and white rice and grilled chicken diet for about a week. Once her stool was solid we slowly added back dog food. She has been fine since. We submitted all the forms to the ASPCA insurance and they paid the claim according to our contract. Well worth having the insurance for the peace of mind, especially with a curious puppy. Thank you ASPCA. Debbie Londeck

I HAVE SUBMITTED 2 CLAIMS FOR MY PETS. I HAVE A BEAGLE AND A ROTTY. ASPCA HAS PAID ALL CLAIMS FAIRLY AND QUICKLY. I FEEL THAT IT IS A GOOD INVESTMENT. I LIKE THAT THEY DO NOT PUT A CUTOFF ON YOUR DOGS AGE AS MY PETS ARE 8 AND 9 YEARS OLD. I AM VERY SATISFIED AND WILL CONTUNUE AS LONG AS I CAN TO GIVE THIS BENEFIT TO MY DOGS. CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE
