Six months later he had to have cataract surgery that cost over $3500, but the insurance covered and paid up without question. It is a good idea to insure as young as possible or as soon as you adopt the dog to lessen the preexisting issue.
I have Trupanion and another good one is Healthy Paws I believe. These were chosen after much research as there are so many conditions and coverage variables. You can go to the websites and compare coverage and exclusions, and prices. Make sure you compare apples with apples! Both the above insurers cover hereditary conditions. You can choose a deductible to get the premium that suits you. The above insurers do not cover routine things like dentals, flea and worm meds and vet visits. But there are some insurers who cover these wellness issues I think. Depends what coverage you wish.
Good luck and happy hunting!

Thanks... I have been looking into Trucompanion; was just wondering .
