ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

Our dog, Sandi, is a three year old husky mix. We began a health policy with her because our previous rescue dog had some serious, and expensive, care toward the end of it's life. The company we chose is ASPCA, which was recommended by our veterinarian. The company has a good web site, the return checks after a claim are handled promptly, and we have the no hassle option of having our quarterly payment charged automatically through a credit card. To date, Sandi has had several hundred dollars worth of bills, mostly due to a infection that set in around a deer fly bite on her nose. She needed shots, ointments, and lab work. We are looking forward to a long and healthy life for Sandi, but we feel she is worth the little bit extra to insure that we can afford to take care of her.

After my pitbull had undergone a couple of surgeries in her second year one of my sons-in-law suggested pet insurance and she has been covered by this company ever since. Their coverage has always seemed prompt and pretty generous and I have appreciated greater peace of mind over the years. My dog has done well over the years because of regular veterinary care, good diet and natural supplements designed to keep her as healthy as possible and I am hoping that nothing too serious will happen in the future but one never knows. She experienced hip dysplasia in one hip (the other looks great), tore both her cruciate ligaments at different times, had the top of her femur removed but hasn't had surgeries for many years. Recently she was diagnosed with Horner's Syndrome in one eye. I was told that 50% of such cases are idiopathic and go away on their own and her eye does seem to be looking much better recently.

I have had this insurance for a year now and all they have paid out is approximatly $25. Every time I file a claim they seem to make some connection to an alleged pre-existing condition. I'm tired of fighting them because I always loose. I would love to switch but my hands are tied. Any condition my dog currently has will now be pre-existing to a new insurance. My hands are tied

Having pet insurance is very important to provide peace of mind regarding veterinary expenses. I have been very pleased with the service provided by the Hartville group and it has saved significant out of pocket expenses. I have it for all 3 of my dogs and the variety of plans offered provides the flexibility that pet owners need.

After one of my two cats got really sick and had to stay at the vet’s office for three days, I was shocked at the amount I had to pay at the end of the treatment. I started to think about what I would have done if one of my ‘fur kids’ would have to stay at the vets place even longer, and if I would ever have to face the horrible choice to have to end my pets life simply because I could not afford the treatment any more. With that in mind I started searching for an insurance company that would help me pay my vets bills. And when I found Petshealth and signed up nearly five years ago, I was simply delighted at how easy they make it to file claims through mail, email or even online and get part of your money back. Petshealth has helped me out in every way! And they even have friendly and knowledgable customer service reps. I would highly recommend them.
