More and more, we see people coming into the shop telling us scenarios where their dog needed expensive surgery and they now have a big debt to pay back. Please take time to look into pet insurance to see if it's right for you and your family. It really can provide you with peace of mind that you can get the care your dog needs andfit it into your budget. Here's a good link to get you thinking: http://www.pet-insurance-university.com/guide_to_pet_insurance.html The following plans are reviewed on this web site: Embrace-Hartville Group-Healthy Paws-Pet First-Pet Partners/AKC-Pet Plan-Pets Best-PurinaCare-Trupanion-VPI (Dog & Cats)-VPI (Exotic Pets)-24 Pet Watch. Please keep in my that there's not "one best" pet insurance company out there for you and your dog. Just like our own medical insurance, there are situations that require different solutions. It certainly isn't "one size fits all." And please understand all facets of the insurance-get clarity on what is and isn't covered! Leading pet insutance companies based on customer satisfaction: Barb Emmett, owner of Godfrey's, and her husband Pat, spent many hours in 2009 researching the ins and outs of pet insurance and comparing costs vs. benefits. As a result, they chose Embrace pet insurance for reasons that made sense for them, their lifestyle and their goldens. These were their top priorities in selecting a plan: include alternative therapies such as accupuncture, hydrotherapy; fast speed in reimburesment; high percentage coverage based on whatever the veterinarian charged vs. a flat amount based on type of service provided. They really felt good about their plan, where 90% of costs are covered, whether being treated in an emergency center over the weekend (when fees are generally higher) or during regular veterinary hours.
