ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

California is an expensive place to own a pet. When you do rescue as I do, vet costs can become prohibitive. I currently have 2 dogs and 6 cats. ASPCA and Petshealth has been a life-saver, allowing me to care for multiple pets and not sacrificing care of one pet for another because of costs.

I adopted my Luke,a Dachshund mix from the local animal shelter. Luke at the time, was about three or four years old. I wanted to give an older dog a second chance at having a forever home with people who could give him the love and care he deserved. One of the first things I did was to get pet insurance from ASPCA. Several weeks later I noticed a small lump on Luke's front left leg. I brought Luke to the Doctor and it turned out to be a non-cancerous tumor. Luke eventually had to have surgery to have it removed. Thank God he made a full recovery! I was surprised at how much I get reimbursed for the surgery. I highly recommand ASPCA insurance. Besides getting some reimbursement for visits to the Doctor, everyone I have ever spoken to at ASPCA is friendly, caring and helpful.

I have a 3.5 yr old Yorkie, Bailey. When he was 2 he was having bladder problem and was catherized a few time and put on medication. When it got worst he was referred to a Specialist Vet Clinic in Greenville SC. To make a long story short, Bailey had a Liver Shunt and was operated on. Thought I was going to lost him, but he is doing fine now. Except for some skin allergies he seems fine. I submitted all the invoices I had aquired from my home Vet and the one in South Carolina and submitted to ASPCA. Since I was well aware that the issue my dog had was not covered but they went through it and covered all the tests and x-rays before he was diagnosed. He had swallowed some items when he was in pain and started chewing my shoes and anything he could get ahold of. I spent over $4500 on the first claim but it was worth every penny. The second claim was for Ear infection and skin allergy and ran around $400. They were a pleasure to deal with and make sure I understand their decisions according to my policy.

My dog Rose is 7 and has been at the Vet this year a total of 13 times. I really think that I might have hesitated taking her if I didn't have pet insurance. I am out of work and the vet bills are expensive, but with insurance from ASPCA, I am completely with a peace of mind that most items will get reimbursed.

Our family has been a Petshealth Care Plan client for many, many years and we could not be more pleased with the service we have received. At different times we have had between 4 and 6 pets covered and while most are rescues we have been very happy with the level of service provided. Now our three daughters are out of the house and they each have 2 cats as well, all covered by the same plan. While we know there are differing levels of service, we have been very happy and understand that insurance is not an all inclusive catch all, but it sure does help. We have had a dog with cancer (twice), a cat with an amputated leg, a Gastroplexy (stomach twist) as well as the normal run of the mill issues, but through them all, our animals are still covered and living long and happy lives. Thank you for being there and so responsive when we have need you. Michael and Jamie and all the Paws
