Be very careful who you insure your pet with!
"Gazzer" wrote in message om... I recently insured my pet after reviewing all the pet insurance companies offering product in Canada. Vet Insurance seemed the best value at the time and I joined up. About 10 days later, my dog was run over by a car. The vet bills came to $1950 and I submitted the claim expecting about 90% of the amount. What I got back was 44% of the claim, as they said they do not cover Veterinarin charges or hospitalization costs. Do they expect you to take your dog to a Dentist? Feel the policy is very misleading. Just wanted to share with those who are about to insure their pets. Did you read the policy? Does it really say that? |

I've got insurance with PetCare, and I'm expecting my first reimbursement shortly. We'll see what the total turnaround time is. They're supposed to pay 100% after a $50 deductible. |

I'm paying about $600.00 a year for three cats, that's almost as much as my own insurance. I've got insurance with PetCare, and I'm expecting my first reimbursement shortly.

a new policy with Pet Care. Hope you are right about them |
