| insurance I have a yorkie who has a lactating petella which doesn't really hurt him but he was diagnosed with it. I also have a Maltese with hip dysplasia he limps a lot and surgery was considered a last resort option. Since these are already diagnosed does this mean if I get pet insurance now it won't be covered? |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I have VPI insurance on my 3 girls and they do not cover hereditary or pre existing conditions. One of mine had surgery for luxating Patella and it was denied. I would research some of the other carriers and see if they will cover it.

| What about those financial assistance websites. How does it work, you borrow the money and pay them back or how would it work out? |

| Have you tried looking into Care Credit? You fill out the application on-line. Just make sure the place the surgery is going to take place at accepts Care Credit.

I don;t mind saving for his surgery but I figured if Insurance would cover it I can get some of my money back it was worth asking. Thank your for the suggestion. | |
