Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Dr. Terifaj Evaluates Pet Insurance! GREAT New Article! Make 2010 The Year Of Affordable Pet Health Care! Dr. Paula Terifaj (DVM) and her office team evaluated the nitty gritty of ten pet insurance policies, then narrowed it down to 3....and the full article is GREAT . With what we've spent on Wylie's Atypical Cushing's this year (5-6k and still spending...)...I sure wish we'd had insurance...hindsight is great ....

| Thank you for this post. I found it very helpful. Can this be a sticky? There have been a lot of posts lately about pet insurance.

| Ann, thank you so much for posting that. Stuck it in my favorites to read later. I have pet insurance VPI and I would love to see how the ins differ. May be making a switch if it proves better to do so. |

| Ann, thanks for posting this. I have been thinking about getting insurance for Abby but just wasn't sure which one to go with. Very informative. Thanks again!

| Thank you for posting this Anne, We just joined up with PetPlan recently and it appears we made a good choice. So glad - it truly is a peace of mind kind of thing

| Pet Insurance Thank you for posting this. Based on this I just signed up for Pet Plan. Was nice of you to do this. I have looked at some pet insurance plans but as with any insurance, it can be confusing. This article made it much easier to understand and I now have more peace of mind knowing Sparky is covered. |

| This happens to be my area of expertise (insurance at large, pet insurance as an occasional niche) which is also why I usually stay out of these discussions Article does have thorough evaluative criteria, which will be useful to many I am sure |

| I purchased PetPlan a few weeks ago. After reading this article, I'm glad I made a good choice. I have 100% reimbursement with a $200 deductible.
