Surprisingly Pleased
We've never had insurance on our pets but with this puppy we decided to get accident/injury only insurance. It was quite reasonable, $270 a year. I could not justify $4,200 a year for Trupanion, despite their great reviews. Our main concern was future leg injuries or swallowing something he shouldn't have, which our other rottweilers have done. Then our guy bopped himself in the eye with a hose end and ended up with an ulcer on his eye and then entropion. I was anticipating they may consider the entropion congenital instead of being a result of the eye injury, figuring it's the job of the insurance adjustor to figure out how not to reimburse, but submitted a claim anyway. But, to our delight, they accepted the claim and all of his treatment, drugs, and surgery, and we were reimbursed before he even returned for this follow-up checkup at the vet.
