Winston · 12-10-2005, 02:48 PM

I purchased pet insurance for Winston. I researched what was available to me in Canada. Here we only have two compaines. I checked what both had to offer and talked with my vet about each. I did purchase it, and it cost about $1.63 can. per day. This is for 100 % coverage from nose to tail. Over 6 thousand illnesses, and accidents are covered at cost of the vet, not prorated by the insurance company. The accident insurance kicked in right away, the health part had a 30 day waiting period. Very sad, but i guess people sign up when they find out their wee one is ill. Wisnton was covered as of Dec. 2 2005 for health. You might know that he ended up being very ill weeks before the insurance kicked in. I would have paid two arms and two legs to have him well.
I am happy to report after weeks of having to hold him up to even pee, he is doing so much better. He will make it. Thank God.
So i vote yes for insurance. It takes the stress off. Some people can't afford to have costly surgerys and tests, done. This is horrible. We all love our wee babies. I know we would all do anything to save them or to give them the care they need to get better.
Wishing all of you a safe and Merry Christmas.
