ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

My Bull Mastiff is one of the largest blessings in my life. She developed a tumor on her leg that needed removal in a short span of time. I was very thankful to have Hartville Pet Insurance, because this was a situation that I hadn't budgeted for. Hartville Ins. was very prompt and paid for a big portion of the surgical expense. I highly recommend this Pet Ins. product and am thankful for their expertise and speed in handling my dogs claim.

This is my first time getting pet insurance and so far I am happy with ASPCA. I have no other company to compare it to. I can however compare it to paying full price at the vet! Get pet insurance!!

After paying over a thousand dollars to save one of my cats a few years ago, I decided to buy pet insurance for all my pets. Since my pets very seldom get sick, I had recently considered canceling their policies, but a couple of months ago, another one of my cats, Sabrina showed up with a bloody nose and was sneezing a lot, so I took her to my Vet; after a biopsy it was discovered Sabrina had an aggressive form of cancer. The tests and procedures were expensive, but not as expensive as they would have been had Sabrina not been insured. Sabrina is now doing better and the cancer seems to have gone away, who knows, perhaps the biopsy removed the entire affected area; I’m just glad she’s back to normal and even more glad I kept her insured. You don’t really appreciate pet insurance until you have that emergency you weren’t expecting.

Absolutely NOT! This company has short changed me since I took the policy. An extended waiting period before the coverage effective. Now when my one dog has a condition that is unresolved and his policy needs to be renewed-they will no longer cover treatment! Where does this leave me? I am unable to get any new policyfrom any other company to cover a pre-existing condition and the ASPCA does NOT take care of their obligations. BTW, my dog has been receiving treatments only since Oct. '09 less than a year's worth!

Since our golden was getting up there in age (8) - we decided to be proactive and get this ASPCA insurance that was recommended by our vet. It worked out well for us, as he did have a few issues this last year and ASPCA was very good about accepting the claims and paying on them. They did not pay the full amount - but a good portion. Hopefully none is needed for this next year - but we are covered and ready just in case.
