In my experience of looking into getting pet insurance, older animals ("older" meaning any animal more than 8 years old - my 10 year old healthy cat was considered uninsurable) and any pre-existing medical condition is not covered. Also, certain major illnesses, like cancer, require a rider and are not covered in the basic policy under any conditions. My 10-year-old cat was initially accepted into the insurance plan. I was required to get a medical exam and $100 worth of bloodwork, which came back fine. Then, after I paid for all of that, I was told that she couldn't be insured because of her age (did her age change overnight?)

Best regards, ---Cindy S. Good post, Cindy. Also: This person's "message" is SPAM. The identical message has been posted on several newsgroups and is really a sales pitch. MaryL |

Best regards, ---Cindy S. I couldn't agree more. I went the insurance route for a little but it was just way too expensive, especially with multiple pets (at the time we had 7 cats and 2 dogs). I don't remember the logic at the time but for awhile we even tried just insuring a few of them. Invariably the pets that were not insured would get sick or the condition wasn't covered. We now have an account set aside just for vet bills and everybody is covered; it's worked out much better for us. Bonnie |

Vet Pet Insurance
My vet also gave me this same advice in late 2002 when I'd had my beige &
white rescue cat Coco about 1/2 year. He was about a year old & during this 6 month period, he'd already been treated 2-3 times for an allergic skin condition over his eyes. I asked my vet whether I should take out an insurance policy for him & was told he wasn't eligible for coverage because of this 'pre-existing' condition. My vet suggested setting aside the same money each month in a separate bank account for my cats. M. cindys wrote: Hello, Vet pet insurance is not only good for your pet but for yourself too.

I adpoted 2 rescue pets and because the vet center I use also is assosciated with them, they are fully covering known pre-existing conditions. Cash (beagle mix) has already had treatments equal to the amount I paid this year for insurance. Daisy (cat) has used 50% of what I paid this year and is sceduled for another treratment that will make this 75%. Cash had heartworms and was still in the treatment phase and is now on the maintenance phase (tests positive, will for a few more months but thats just antibodies to the worms left over and they will clear out in time). Daisy needs dental cleaning (free basically as paid for under her insurance) and is being treated for a yeast infection in her left ear. It's Cash (beagle mix) where we are making money on the insurance deal. The Xrays, EKG's and heart specialist would have cost far more than I paid under a plan, not to mention his meds are 1/2 price. Daisy too, as she needs a specialized flea treatment due to allergies so I can't use OTC stuff on her (and will not risk it with Cash). |
