I got a check yesterday for $150.30!!! YAY! It's nice to know that the insurance really does help out if god forbid something really expensive went wrong! |
Not to be argumentative, but. If you've had Howie for 9 months then you have paid $180 in insurance and you still have to pay $72, on the vet bill. That makes your out of pocket $252, instead of $222.
Most everything i have heard on pet insurance is, you are better off to put your $20 a month in the cookuie jar, and then you'll have money if you need it.
Just another point of view. Not meant to be insulting or mean.
