Can you get pet insurance on a dog that already has a preexisting condition?
Or would it be better to open a seperate bank account just for his bills?
He has chronic Pancreatitis.
He is a year and a half old……(we still don’t know how he got pancreatitis being that he has never had any table scraps just dog kibble though he did eat some crappy kibble at first “purina and pedigree” but around the time he was diagnosed we put him on “California Naturals” a much better food.
Anyways we have already spent well over 2,000 dollars in vet bills (I try not to add it up that is just a guesstimate….I’m sure its actually much more)
And he is going to have this his whole life.
So can he get pet insurance or should I just open up another savings account for his medical costs?
He is a 1 1/2 year old Minature Poodle
I don’t believe there are any insurance companies that will cover a condition that’s already been diagnosed.

I just got a 8 week old chihuahua and am on the search for a good pet insurance for her. I have seen so many people who had to put their dogs to sleep because they couldn’t afford to pay for a surgery that could’ve saved the dogs life. I don’t want to get stuck in that situation so I want to get insurance. If been reading reviews on VPI vet pet insurance And have pulled away from it because most of the people who left a review left a bad one. Does anyone know a good pet insurance that I can get in California? Thank you!
I would recommend Trupanion Pet Insurance. It’s around $25 a month and there are no annual limits and no penalties for filing a claim which means your premium won’t go up every time you file a claim. It covers 90% of the veterinary bills for accidents and illnesses.
It’s good that you are reading reviews, because you should find the company that best fits your needs. I would suggest getting quotes from each of the websites to decide how much you want to pay and how much you want your plan to cover.

Obtaining insurance quotes offline is a real drag. You can spend hours on the telephone repeating your details to life insurance or household insurance telesales operators in a bid to find the lowest quotes available. It is a time consuming process that requires persistence to keep on phoning insurance agent after insurance agent. You’re often in need of an understanding boss too who’ll let you use the work phone during your lunch hour!
But, in today’s high-tech era there is an easier and much more efficient way of obtaining contents insurance, buildings insurance, car insurance, pet insurance, life insurance and life assurance quotes. All you have to do is log on to the Internet and you’ll find a wealth of insurance resources that enable you to receive insurance quotes online at the click of your mouse button.
Online insurance quotes…the easy way!
The last few years has seen a massive increase in the number of businesses establishing an online presence. Amongst those who have taken to the Internet are insurance companies. There is now a flood of insurance companies online, from well-known high street car insurance names to small local life insurance brokers, all of whom are offering information about their insurance products over the Web.
What’s more, many of the insurance companies provide links to online quotes forms, making the process of obtaining insurance quotes fast and easy. Insurance companies can in fact hand you competitive quotes instantaneously upon receiving the online form. They can also direct you to the application form so you can apply for the insurance online within minutes.
The best places online to obtain insurance quotes are often not directly with the insurance companies themselves. Instead, those looking for online insurance quotes should head for specialist insurance web sites and portals where a collection of insurance companies can be found on one site. These ‘collective’ sites offer consumers several advantages.
Firstly, as there are several (if not hundreds) of insurance companies represented on these collective sites, it is much quicker to find the insurance companies from which to obtain your online insurance quotes than when compared to trawling around the Internet looking for each online insurance agents’ website. The second advantage to using these sites for collecting your online insurance quotes is that many portals allow you to collect instantaneous online insurance quotes through the use of just one single quotes form! So, instead of going to each insurance agent and re-keying the information needed to obtain your online quotes, you only have to enter the information once, saving you bags of time!
But what about price? Surely, if online insurance quotes are not obtained direct from the insurance (or assurance) agent’s website then they’ll be more expensive? In fact, the truth is that they won’t! Specialist portal sites handle all of the admin and advertising for each insurance agent represented so saving those insurance companies a packet. Therefore, if you go direct to the online insurance companies you are likely to receive the same online prices as you would through specialist portal sites.

Is there a pet insurance company in Canada for birds?
I have an African Grey parrot, and I know how expensive vet bills can be for birds. I would really like to purchase pet insurance, but I can only find insurance companies who insure dogs and cats. Does anybody have a company they can refer, or some useful information?? Thanks!!

VPI is a very reputable company! WE have ducks and they cover them as well.
If you have not already realized, the costs of veterinary care is escalating. By purchasing a pet insurance for our pets is also a wise choice to keep pet care costs within an affordable range. As pets become an important member of our family, purchasing a pet insurance is one of the ways to ensure our pets in getting the best care it possibly deserves.
Here are the 4 simple steps to purchase your pet insurance
1) Pet Insurance Online
Since most pet insurance companies have their own websites, one of the best ways to begin your research in pet insurance is to look for them online. When you do so, you will find a wide variety of insurance options and pricing. Some companies will even give you an additional discount if you purchase their pet insurance online.
However the first thing you should do is to select a number of pet insurance companies and make sure that you only deal with those reputable companies. Therefore check to see if each company is truly legitimate by going through them with The Better Business Bureau website.
Looking for a pet insurance online enables you to look for a policy that suits your needs faster. It is also more accurate because you have access to thousands of different sites. With this much information that can be gotten so easily you will able to make an informed decision in purchasing a proper pet insurance.
2) Pet Insurance Ratings
Since the internet is so easy to access, there will also be just as many scams regarding pet insurance companies. With thousands of pet insurance websites, there is also another method to get the best pet insurance that most suits your needs. That method is by looking at the pet insurance ratings.
By reading the pet insurance ratings you are able to tell which the best pet insurance company is and which insurance company to avoid. If you look at the pet insurance ratings, you can be sure to get what you pay for.
If you are wondering where to look for the pet insurance ratings, you can find most of them done online by independent companies. This is the best done by independent companies because you know that they aren’t biased and therefore they are going to give you great information.
3) Pet Insurance Quote
Pet insurance quotes are available since 1928. Today there are numerous pet insurance quotes for you to decide one that most suitable for you and your pet. Furthermore if you get a pet insurance quote with a complete explanation from several carriers will be a very wise choice to make.
i) You can start by getting a pet insurance quote from your veterinarian. In turn, your veterinarian may offer a discount plan intended specially for his clients, or he may recommend a locally based plan that would be more suitable for you and your pet. This sort of pet insurance may be better for you than one of the bigger plans, depending on both your financial means and the breed of your dog.
ii) You can also choose to shop around and ask for pet insurance quotes from different insurance companies. When you ask for different pet insurance quotes, you will have a solid basis when you compare the services and prices of the insurance companies.
One of the reasons for getting several pet insurance quotes from different companies is that often congenital and hereditary illnesses or pre-existing conditions are not covered by pet insurance. Therefore it is best that you do a thorough research and consult your veterinarian.
iii) After you have found reliable pet insurance companies that may meet you and your pet’s needs, narrow down to at least five of them. The reason being the more pet insurance quotes you have, the more difficult it is for you to make a choice. If you want to simplify things, you can narrow down your choices right from the start.
4) Compare Pet Insurance
Since there so many pet insurance companies, you will be faced with numerous options. Therefore for you to get the best value for your money you need to compare pet insurance options and policies to see which policy is most suited for you.
Before you start your comparison:
i) You must have a general idea about what options you need for your pet. For example, basic plans are the cheapest but they also cover only the basic emergency and illness care.
ii) You also need to look at things such as deductibles, copays, and lifetime limits.
iii) You need to find out how a claim is filed and how the claim is paid. It is also useful to know what items are excluded and what items have payment limits placed on them.
iv) You should find out if you are allowed to visit the vet of your choice or do you have to use a vet recommended by them.
v) Do also find out which ones cover after hours emergencies such as accidents and sudden serious illness and that if the accident or illness is serious and your pet may require a specialist.
When you find the policy that you feel is most suitable for you then all you have to do is fill out their form which gives them your pet’s information. The pet insurance company may also set up to accept payment online.
I am deciding between VPI Pet Insurance and ASPCA Insurance. I need something that will cover check ups, emergencies and accidents. My dog is already neutered. If you have any other choices, please tell and tell WHY you use it so I can do a comparison.
I have Trupanion. They don’t have claim limits and they cover 90% (no benefits schedules) so no matter how big your bill is, they cover 90% of it.
Watch out for benefits schedules because sometimes they can get you– like if it says “surgery x costs $200″ and then your dog needs surgery x but your vet charges you $800, guess what: the insurance company will only cover 80-90% of the $200.
You can also choose a $0 deductible (or anywhere up to $1000) with Trupanion. I’m really happy with the company and they are really easy and straight forward to understand, definitely check them out!
For a relatively low cost, a pet owner can acquire the best pet insurance for his or her dog or cat (or both!). While some of the more cynical people in the world will take an attitude that pet insurance is a luxury item that only those who have money to burn will purchase. Such an attitude is foolish as a medical calamity or accident can befall the pet. When such a calamity occurs, then there will be uneasy financial concerns that will have to be taken into consideration if proper pet insurance has not been purchased long in advance of the onset of the medical problem.
If there was ever an incredibly uncomfortable situation to be in, it would be the situation where a pet faces a serious, life threatening condition. If a dog or cat is diagnoses with something as serious as cancer, immediate treatment must be undertaken in order to save the life of the animal. Such procedures, however, will not be humanitarian gifts as there will be fees involved with such procedures. When the condition is incredibly serious, there is the possibility that several surgeries and follow up visits will be required in order to maintain the life of the pet.
Sadly, there is a financial concern here that must be taken into consideration. How much will the owner be able to afford and how much money will the owner be able to expend before realizing that finances will necessitate having to have the pet put down as further medical care will be out of the range of affordability of the owner. This is why the best pet insurance is something that should be taken into serious consideration, particularly as a pet continues to get up in age.
Pet insurance is a relatively new product on the pet market. It has been around a little over 15 years, but has only started to catch on with the public in the last five years. One of the reasons for this increased popularity of insurance is the fact that vet bills have grown exponentially in the last decade. In fact, increases of the average vet bill have grown by 50+% in only a few short years.
Because of this, it is more important than ever before to invest the dime in the best pet insurance policy. Such insurance policies can be purchased for very little money and they will provide an adequate security net for a beloved pet that deserves such positive protections. Therefore, it is wise to take a look into the available options that may fit the budget that the owner must work within. Doing so as soon as humanely possible will provide a pet with a long and happy life.

Pet Insurance; How to go about a marketing plan/promotion of?
How does it benefit the practice? (I already know all benefits for the owners)
Promotion ideas?
I have to make out a marketing and promotion for pet Insurance and these questions are hard to find answers for.
Any links at all really. . . Although obviously I know the basics, I’ve been pushing good insurance on owners for years in my clinic; but although it may be easy to do, it’s hard to write about.
This Assignment I have is a real doozie. (2nd year B.Sc Veterinary Nursing Student)
Pet insurance benefits a practice in the following ways:
1. It provides another revenue stream
2. It reassures the pet owner that you are looking out for his/her welfare, as well as for the health and well being of his/her pet.
3. It is a competitive step forward, since not many veterinarians offer it — it sets your practice apart
4. It allows you to ride on the marketing coattails of the insurance company — any local advertising, promotion and marketing — especially direct marketing — will mention the name of your practice. (The insurance company may pick up the entire cost of this advertising, or you may be asked to pay part of the cost — it is well worth it.)
5. The insurance company should give you referrals from enquiries in your district — that is, pet owners who communicate directly with the insurance company should be referred to you as their local representative, and pet owners who contact the insurance company solely about insurance should be told about your veterinary practice. (”By the way, Brian Boru Small Animal Practice of Bailey-Cream o’ The Reeks is a professional practitioner down the road you should be aware of, should you require their services — especially since they honour our insurance.” or words to that effect.)
6. Any incidental projects you put into your practice publicise and promote your practice tenfold. These include:
a) insurance of course
b) local workshops and seminars before schools, church groups, community organisations
c) newsletters –on line and printed and distributed FREE — on a regular basis
d) pro bono work for pet owners who can’t afford it (some sort of a means test here, so you won’t be taken advantage of) — perhaps exclusively for the very old or disabled. Specialise, say, in service animals, working with local orgs. for the blind, hard-of-hearing, etc.
e) brochures and handouts distributed in your surgery– not only materials that you receive on a regular basis from large manufacturers, etc., but little brochures you write on your own on local problems, say incidence of ticks and the like
f) offer to write a column for the local press
g) give talks at the library. This is very popular.
h) write a book or two. Not necessarily James Herriot stuff (although that would be nice), but little heart-warming stories, with you as the hero, of course. The book could be online.
i) set up and maintain a) website, b) a blog — and keep it fresh and up to date
j) contribute to other local websites, not necessarily having anything to do with animals: church, library, community, even real estate, agriculture, historical and cultural. Become de facto the local authority on matters veterinary!
You might want to look at useful blog on direct marketing that throws out a lot of sensible ideas on marketing and promotion. It’s called Direct Marketing Creative Generator. The blogger is a college professor and direct marketing veteran.

It is proven with enough witness that pets are the lovely domestic animals which folks like to keep in their homes. Feeding them with delicious food is not the only responsibility but there’s a lot to do. Everybody gets hurt and it is same for pets. In case of injuries we rush to a vet for medical help and with much complaint we do pay off the medical bills.
It seems that medical expenses are soaring day by day. Taming a rabbit or a dog has become quite expensive but we cannot give up the wish which we have in our mind. Modern families are keeping beautiful pets in their homes and also have taken up the pet insurance plans.
All the time we cannot rely upon the debit card. In case if it runs out of money then what we will do. And it will be a stupidity to just stay helpless when the most charming pet is crying out of pain. It is a piece of advice to all the families which keep pets in their homes that it is essential to have pet insurance cards so that they can meet the escalating prices of veterinary expenses.
One needs to consider a couple of points before picking up a pet insurance. One of those strong points is that all the insurance plans are not equivalently same. Moreover, one has to take the particular insurance plan which gives financial coverage. It happens that many folks take insurance plans and later on they realized that they couldn’t get much financial help. The worst is that they had to pay extra bucks from their plastic cards. In such a case one should raise the question: Why even after taking up a better insurance plan one had to pay the extra bucks? This genuine question is worth enough as a topic of hot debate.
