ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

After my cat suffered through a urinary tract blockage and infection two years ago, leaving me with $1600 in veterinary bills, I decided to purchase ASPCA pet insurance with continuing care. Recently, my cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I file my claims via e-mail for bloodwork, examinations, and prescriptions related to the illness and have found it really easy to work with ASPCA. I receive a confirmation e-mail, claim status updates, and the reimbursement checks are always mailed to me in a reasonable amount of time. Initially I was worried about dealing with pet insurance, but I now feel that it was worthwhile and it gives me a sense of security with regard to my cat's health. I will continue to utilize ASPCA pet insurance for my future pets.

We have used Petshealth care for our other pets and for our dog Misty, a Chihuahua mix. Misty is about 17 months old and she has used the insurance for a couple of small claims and one large claim of $1,200. We received a fair amount after the 80%. We have collected more than we have paid in since getting the insurance in July,20l0. It was a good decision to purchase this insurance.

I recently purchased ASPCA health insurance for my Great Dane Lola. She hurt her tail a couple months after my purchase and the vet bills became overwhelming. After paying them all, I made a claim. I was reimbursed a good amount of the money within 2 months. The claim forms were very easy and ASPCA health insurance kept me up to date as they processed them.

I had this coverage on my GDS, Caesar II, four years. The renewal premiums always seemed reasonable, until the 15% increase last year. As I realize there would be increase, this was considered more than usual.I purchased this premium for peace of mind. If there was an accident, I knew that at least some portion of my expenses would be recovered. I submitted several claims over the years,and felt that the reimbursement rates were fair. Except for the initial charge for the doctor encounter If I could suggest a change to the coverage, I would re-evalute the geographical findings, as $39.00 is an impractical amount in the year 2011. In speaking with my vet, she very much agrees. I have had some positive experience with the coverage, and would purchase it again.

We rescued a one year old lab/border collie mix last year. Given the amount of energy Grady has, we wanted accident protection for him in case of an injury. We bought the level one coverage last year. As expected, Grady took a run through the woods and returned with a chest laceration requiring stitches. We were very pleased that ASPCA processed our claim in a timely manner. The provisions of payment were as described at the time of purcahse. We just renewed and increased to a level 2 coverage this year. We will continue to purchase this coverage for piece of mind.
