Personally I dont have it... after reading the policies and what was covered, I figured financially it would be better for me to put the 100 or more I would spend each month into a savings account for their medical expenses. maybe it would be more worthwhile with only one dog, I dont know?

| I have pet insurance for my two dogs. About 45 dollars each month for each dog, covers emergencies and injuries, dental care etc. but not preventitive care. That one is about 80+ dollars a month each.

| Donating YT 30K Club Member  | I have insurance on my 3 girls. I have VPI and pay 21.00 a month for each one. I personally like knowing if a major illness/accident happens I have the insurance.

| Donating YT 30K Club Member | Yes it is worth the peace of mind for me. I think I get a small discount for multiple dogs, but when I just had Cali it was like 23.00 a month.

| I'll have 2 dogs next week, and I saw I could get a discount, too. I just get so confused with coverage and deductibles, etc. It's a headache looking around for quotes. |

| I have PetPlan w/a $200 deductible, and pays 80% for accidents and injuries...Good thing is, it also covers anything the breed is predisposed to get, as long as they didn't have it at the time of the policy...Like luxating patella, liver shunt, collapsed trachea, and all those horrible things that pups can get later in life...I hope and pray I never have to use it, but I pay $17 a month, for peace of mind (that's for one kiddo)... |

| Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I have VPI for one pee-nut! I just wanted the peace of mind in case someone was caring for Priscilla to have that card so she would get immediate care. I'm not even a worrier but after reading so many sad, sad stories about pet care emergencies......I wanted my baby to be covered. |

| Thank you all for your responses... Now I have to choose between VPI and Pet Plan. Does VPI cover uxating patella, liver shunt, collapsed trachea, etc? |

| I have VPI, I get a discount on it at work, but I only have it on one of ine because he was a puppy when I got him. Its to expensive to get it for older dogs, also they can say its a pre-exsiting condition. |
