Well, in the two years since I've had Scruff we've had at least $1000 in vet bills. Now that he has Lyme Disease I find out that he may need surgery on both legs, costing $1,200 per leg. I think it would be a good idea to get him insured to cover all this, at least until he gets his surgery.

Does anyone here have their dogs insured? What exactly does it cover? I was looking at the VPI Superior Plan and Vaccination & Routine Care at this site: http://www.petinsurance.com/coverage/dogs.cfm?a=23BC300E-802A-228E-6119AB024951CF5A&b=23BC301E-802A-228E-623B9FCAE6F7BBDB&c=23BC302E-802A-228E-690D75F0BE293567.

I'm wondering if someone knows of a better plan or if this one is ok and will pay for his future surgery. It'll be over $300 per year, but with his allergy and now leg problems, I think it'll be worth it.

Ah, I just noticed that the plan also covers heartworm and flea control.

I just spent $150 bucks on heartguard and frontline plus...that stuff is expesnive.

I have PetCare which is from petco. I pay about $25 a month and it covers accidents, nonpreventable illness, they will also give you a certain amount of money if the dog is ever lost (to help find the dog). They had other levels too that cost more a month.

But they wanted me to have all of my dog's vet records sent to them.

They will not cover illnesses that the pet had before I enrolled. So I don't think this will be good fo you. I think the website is www.petcareinsurance.com.

Oh, one more thing...this insurance unfortunately doesn't cover heartworm medicine or Frontline,which is all considered preventatvie care.

Just make sure whichever you choose, they will cover the things that you need now.

I use Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI). If you want to protect yourself and your pet, they are the ones to go with.

Well, I have two vets, and one doesn't know about his problems yet. I'd just have records sent from there.

Thanks for the link.
