| insurance I know we all have had these debates before but I'm thinking about changing Gizmos pet insurance provider. Trupanion seems to be getting bad reviews lately.

| Debates? Only YTers could debate about dog insurance. lol. I was unimpressed with Trupanion reviews as of late and am glad I didn't choose them.

| I pay $25 a monthfor a $250 deductable and, for reading complaints, it looks like it'll go up when he turns 1. There's Petplan and Vpi, but who knows, maybe I'll shop around on my day off tomorrow.

| VPI was ex'ed off of my list because they have a benefits schedule based on customary charges. I use vets that aren't afraid to charge what its worth, so it's not always "customary". So that kind of insurance wasn't going to work for us. There is also Embrace (really like them) and Pets Best (didn't like their exemptions/exceptions).

| Ah yes, Embrace, that's the other one I wrote down at work and completely forgot to bring home with me.

| I've had Purina for my little one since I got her. Never really had a problem, except they are incredibly difficult to get through to on the phone. But I seem to get my checks rather quickly, so that's good. |

| Dori has Embrace and we have been happy with their customer service. You can choose your own deductible and add a wellness plan for stuff not covered in the regular health plan. The wellness plan is like a health savings account. We get $200 worth of wellness coverage for $149/year. When I compared Purina (at my vet's request), I found them to have excellent coverage, but a tad more expensive.
