    Pet insurance premium raised by 30%

    Hello forum I got pet insurance for my cats last year and have filed several claims because my cat has gotten sick a few times. I just received a letter from insurance company stating premium will go up by 30% this year. Was just wondering if any fellow pet parents here also have pet...

    Is Pet Insurance Worth It For An Elder Cat?

    ...and an heart examination, but the whole thing is pretty expensive for me as a broke college student. I was thinking of getting pet insurance to cover these fees (Lemonade), but I'm not sure if it would be covered since his kidney and heart conditions might be considered as "pre-existing"? I'm...

    Pet Insurance--Figo

    I'm looking into pet insurance for my 4-year-old cat and I've read through most of the threads on here concerning said subject, but I'm wondering if anyone has Figo and if so, what do you think about it?

    Is Pet Insurance Worth It For An Elder Cat?

    I do have pet insurance and regret not insuring an older dog, but in general I agree with @artiemom about this subject. Your cat will be excluded for all heart conditions and kidney conditions which may even include adjunct issues like a UTI. On the outside chance that your cat will eventually...

    Pet insurance company denial based on pre-existing vomiting condition

    ...month it became high grade and very aggressive. I am in the middle of sorting out her affairs, including her final vet bills and the pet insurance company is giving me a hard time. I purchased pet insurance for Flora around the time she was having elevated liver/dental issues, the policy was...

    Does Pet Insurance cover seeing a dermatologist?

    This is for the USA. I do not currently have pet insurance. I have multiple cats and find it cheaper to just cover the cost of the vet. However, I do one cat that has skin irritation (not itchy; minor rash/sores) that I would like to get to the bottom of. So I am investigating if I should...

    Cat is meowing after eating and seems like she's in pain

    Pet insurance should send you a file/contract like human insurance which will list the items/illnesses not covered due to pre-existing conditions. Our dog wasn't insured for CL tears until the repair on the two she had was done and held for a year. Somethings will never be insured. Read the...

    Cat pet insurance

    Hi I like to insure my pets with pet insurance. I originally had healthy paws for a couple years and didn’t have any huge problems with them but they did keep increasing my premiums and so I ended up looking elsewhere for a different company. I settled on PetsBest and have really not liked them...

    Pet Insurance

    I'm thinking of changing my pet insurance (I currently have Lemonade). Would love to hear from this forum what insurance everyone has and what they like/don't like about it.

    4.5 Month old male kitten vomiting brown foam

    You may want to look into pet insurance as your bill is sadly not atypical of vet costs today. Kenny is young which is on his side as far as rates go and this episode might only be a temporary exclusion if it does not recur.

    Lemonade, Fetch, Pumpkin, Pets Best insurance- who do you like?

    First time looking into pet insurance. I'm not worried about preventive. These are the 4 I've gotten quotes from. Lemonade and Pets Best are the cheapest, but they don't dover sick visits or dental (Lemonade has add-ons but it's $$$). Fetch and Pumpkin seem to cover the most. I'm guessing once I...

    What’s your favorite pet health insurance?

    I need to get insurance for Benjamin before he’s too old. He’s four. Embrace looks pretty good but looking for advice and experience of other cat owners. I just spent $6k on care for Oliver and really wishing I had bought insurance.

    Pet Insurance - What to Expect Over Time

    ...things might have cost and I didn't have to. All I know if the treatment cost exceeds $1,000 it's not my problem other than the 10%. Anyway, that's my rant/rave about pet insurance. If you an afford it (and I understand many people can't) the benefits far outweigh the cost of the premiums.

    Pet insurance company denial based on pre-existing vomiting condition

    Mathematically speaking, all insurance is a bad deal unless a third party is subsidizing it. With private human health insurance, about 30% of premiums go to insurance company administrative costs. You have to decide how much "peace of mind" (ie regular, predictable premium bills instead of...

    Should I be concerned about Scooter’s poop?

    Oh yeah I know I looked into pet insurance last night I started here first. Few I found that are affordable say he has to go 5 or 6 months without an issue of a UTI reoccurring. So for Scooter it wouldn’t cover him until March cause March would be 6 months. But right now I can’t afford it until...

    Cat's butt suddenly getting soaked in pee after going potty

    Awesome I will look for those threads. I was considering pet insurance since i'm having to take him to the vet again. He's getting older so insurance would help a lot.

    Pet insurance company denial based on pre-existing vomiting condition

    ...whichever body governs insurance in your state. You can file a complaint or open a case with them. I threatened to do this once over a pet insurance claim in which the company insisted repeatedly that they had not received an extremely important piece of diagnostic information. I never...

    Polyps/Feline Orofacial Pain Syndrome

    ...even mild nerve pain that comes and goes, it would explain some of his behavior. Can you administer the medication when he is sleepy or relaxed, especially since it only has to go into the mouth and not down the throat? I have had a couple of go arounds with my pet insurance, so I sympathize.

    What’s your favorite pet health insurance?

    Pet insurance companies are under the jurisdiction of the state board of insurance and, as such, can be reported if there is ever a serious problem.
