We have our policy with Pets Best and love it!  Highest limits ($7000 per accident or illness) and none of this benefit schedule stuff where  companies will only pay a particular amount for certain procedures. They sell themselves as a straight-forward 80% reimbursement after the deductible, and I&#039;ve been hearing good things about them online from other people so feel very confident in the choice we made.

I chose the lower deductible ($75) so as to get the most back each time we go to the vet, and I took the advice of other pet owners online and made sure to sign our Aussie up before any problems start showing.  (Just as with human health insurance, things that are considered pre-existing are either not covered, or only covered at a certain amount.)

We felt like we were getting the best bang for our buck with Pets Best and had heard very negative things about pet insurance in general based on some of the other companies.  That was like throwing the baby out with the bath water for us.  Not insuring our pets was like not insuring ourselves, as far as we&#039;re concerned.  We&#039;ve been through too much with previous dogs to think that the insurance isn&#039;t worth it.

and p.s. don&#039;t listen to the nay-sayers who say that it&#039;s silly to insure your pets.  They obviously haven&#039;t experienced high vet bills the way we have!  Fiscally, it just makes sense to have the insurance.  I&#039;d have to save for more than 15 years to come up with the $7000 that is available to me with my insurance policy right now.  Hopefully I&#039;ll never have to use that, but it&#039;s available to me if we need it (and I&#039;ve only spent $70 on the insurance so far -- very worth it!).</description>

Sorry, but dogs and cats are not humans. Life insurance for cats and dogs is a bit goofy, imho.
Take whatever money you would spend on silly pet insurance and sock it into an interest-bearing account. Then when the pets need care, the money is there.</description>

what one does your regular vet have leaflets for in their office, mine carries two such leaflets.the assistants said that [a] was MUCH better than [b] as it pretty much covered all the shots etc and they had an agreement where for most of the routine stuff the vet was paid directly and you had little to no out of pockets costs..............sorry can NOT recall the name of them but can look it out for you the next time I go there.

Alot of them also do multipet discounts.....again worth looking at</description>

Well, I only checked into one policy, but I was not impressed.   Firstly, it did not contribute all that much to routine bills (shots, etc.) and it had a cap on the bigger bills, something like $2,000 no matter what the size of the bill.  I figured it wasn&#039;t worth it.  I figured at the premium they wanted, it would be wiser to just save that money in case there&#039;s ever a pricey operation.</description>
