My vet suggested you but won"t again!

I think doubling your rates is ridiculous and I'm dropping your insurance. I think a lot of other people will too. My dog's medical care will be less for the year without any insurance than with yours. I know we were at the high end of medical expenses so I'm not at all sure this change will really apply to all of the animals you insure. Also my dog is an English Lab and you don't even have her breed lister. She is very different than an American Lab!! Judi Snyder
