www.premierpetinsurance.com If you have any questions, I would call them, though. I had sent an e-mail once and they didn’t answer, but they are very helpful over the phone (the site gives info on the 3 plans, etc) Dorothy, owned by C.C., a very spoiled dachshund

Response:

If I’m not mistaken, the premium depends on where you live, the breed and age of dog, which coverage you choose, and how many pets you have insured with them. I have Premier and have been satisfied with them. Dorothy, owned by C.C., a very spoiled dachshund

I have Premier but have not had to use it yet.  I did some research and found that a lot of people had problems with VPI and most people like Premier. It is $25 a month. JP

I am looking into insurance for my rotti. Although she shows no signs now, I am concerned that later in life we might deal with bad elbows or hips or some other expensive procedure. I have looked at VPI & Healthy Pet & one other ( I forget the name ). It seems that there is a lot of fine print. Anyone have a recommendation as to which company to go with & if these things are covered. Thanks

My experience with VPI (I have since cancelled policies) is that if they can possibly call a problem "breed specific", then it is not covered. Hips and elbows are indeed breed specific problems, so I wouldn’t count on insurance to cover it. Open a savings account, and deposit "premiums" faithfully each month. When you need your money, it will be there, and you won’t have to jump through hoops to get it. JMO — Toni http://www.irish-wolfhounds.com

I know…. it just doesn’t work for me. I just about wrote "now Gary will be along any minute to tell you the good things about pet insurance", we’ve been taking opposite sides for so long. My problem is, my breed has so many problems, and any huge veterinary bills will in all likelihood be bloat/torsion, osteosarcoma, or heart disease… none of which are covered by insurance because they are "predisposed". I’ve been putting my $100 a month is doggie savings nearly 4 years now, and have never had to withdraw any, plus we keep an open credit card for "dog emergencies". My terrible experience with VPI just put me off. Glad you are happy with yours, though…. another couple of years, and I might just look at it myself <g>. — Toni http://www.irish-wolfhounds.com

As you well know I also had a bad experience with VPI and will always offer my 2 cents on the subject…$100 a month starts to make sense…I only hope you end up using that money on a vacation rather than…Well you know…GG – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I’ve read your post’s for years and have found you very helpful but if I > deposit my $32-$36 per month in the bank and a major crisis occurs I > won’t have enough put away for anything…Of course a minor problem > might be OK but I have insurance to meet the needs of a major > problem…On the other hand I guess if I go years not needing a Vet it > might add up but that’s just not why I have insurance…imho…GG > I know…. it just doesn’t work for me. > I just about wrote "now Gary will be along any minute to tell you the good > things about pet insurance", we’ve been taking opposite sides for so long. > My problem is, my breed has so many problems, and any huge veterinary bills > will in all likelihood be bloat/torsion, osteosarcoma, or heart disease… > none of which are covered by insurance because they are "predisposed". > I’ve been putting my $100 a month is doggie savings nearly 4 years now, and > have never had to withdraw any, plus we keep an open credit card for "dog > emergencies". > My terrible experience with VPI just put me off. > Glad you are happy with yours, though…. another couple of years, and I > might just look at it myself <g>. > — > Toni > http://www.irish-wolfhounds.com
