insurance

What pet insurance do you use for your dog and what does it cover? Can you give me the link for it. Also what medication do you use monthly (do you use it monthly or weekly) for heart worm, fleas, ticks, and etc. Also explain what health problems this package covers.

PetFirst pet insurance is the best. It covers 90% of the bill. Pays up regular vet visits such as annual shots, check ups, etc and it pays for flea and heartworm preventative.

If your pet is small size and more of an indoor pet, go with sentinel. It covers fleas, heartworms, ticks, etc..

Otherwise you can go with frontline (ticks and fleas) and heartgard (heartworm and tapeworms).

I don't have pet insurance, but ...

I just signed up for Walgreen's prescription plan and it covers your pets. It's like $5 for a 1 month supply and $12.99 for a 3 month supply of whatever medication your pet may be on.

I use Petplan ... www.gopetplan.com ... Its AMAZING

It is the #1 rated pet insurance company and it is the only one that lets you choose your coinsurance and deductible. For example, I chose 0% coinsurance and a $50 deductible.. so I am only responsible for $50!

I just took my dog to the vet for a tooth extraction and to get a lump checked out. Everything was covered no problem, the tooth extraction, the anesthesia, the biopsy, the blood test, the exam fee, the medication and everything else. And Petplan covered all but my deductible ($50).

Also, Petplan will pay for Boarding and Kennel Fees, Advertising and Rewards if your dog goes missing, the price you paid for the dog if it does not return, the price of the dog if he/she must be put down or dies due to illness or injury, and travel expenses that cannot be reimbursed if you must cancel due to your animals illness or injury.

Petplan also covers Hereditary Conditions (like hip dysplasia)! MOST pet insurances exclude these conditions because many dogs get them at some point and it becomes costly. But petplan covers these conditions for life, with no dollar or time limit per condition!

The only thing that is not covered is pre-existing conditions (conditions your dog had before getting insurance). No insurance company covers these conditions because it would lead to people only getting insurance after something has happened then cancelling one their animals fee have been paid. This would cause the insurance companies to go out of business!

I love Petplan and they are sooo helpful! My dog also has chronic ear infections and they pay for every visit and all the medication!

So, if you have petplan and your dog gets hurt or sick, they will cover it. And if you need to go to an after hours ER vet clinic, they will also pay for this if it is to save your dogs life. If it is not life threatening, they will pay 70% (because you could have went to your regular vet).

Overall its great! I chose it after months of research and talking to vets.

My clinic suggests VPI and if you just google it u should b able to find it no prob. As far as preventative meds go...most all of them are monthly and your pet should always be protected! These tiny pests can cause MAJOR problems such as flea anemia and blood parasites! Your dog should been seen regularly at a vet practice by a doctor whom you trust. Your vet will then recommend what meds r best for you dog!
