PET HEALTH INSURANCE

Have you every wondered about pet health insurance? A google search with the keywords of "pet health insurance" will net you thousands upon thousands of hits.

Is pet insurance worth the cost? Well, it is really hard to tell from a web search, but it does appear that it may be worth the cost in some cases. Dr. Larry, a veterinarian with a website provides the following summary of most plans: Most have a deductible, co-payment, a maximum per incident they will pay, and don't take pre-existing conditions.

Dr. Larry also recommends Vetrinary Pet Insurance (VPI) because they have been around for about 20 years and basically he believes they have a good reputation.

However, most pet owners would disagree with Dr. Larry. Actual pet owners at the Pet insurance review website only give VPI a rating of 4.66 out of a possible 10.

Based on pet owners' opinions at the pet insurance review site, PetAssure seems to be the favorite. They received a 9 out of 10.

Users of PetAssure seem to really like that they take pre-existing conditions and that they also have a family plan.

If any readers have any experience (either bad or good) with pet health insurance, please let us know. It may help others to avoid problem providers and to select those that offer the best services.
