Insure your pet’s future

Posted by Bob under cat arthritis, dog arthritis, tendon/ ligament injury

Many of our clients have inquired about pet insurance. Most pet insurance will help cover costs if the condition is arthritis or tendon injuries and not pre-existing or related to a congenital disorder. I have found this independent website helpful at trying to understand all the different pet insurance companies out there and what they have to offer.

Vet-Stem offers another kind of insurance. We can store cells that are not used for the first treatment. These stored cells can be used if your dog needs a ‘tune-up’ or if he has a new injury or disease.

Do you have insurance for your horse or pet?

Elise Said,
I got vet insurance for the first time when my youngest dog was 1 year and my oldest was 3 years. My yongest (an ACD that I rescued at 3 months of age) was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia 6 months after I started the policy, at age 2. She had orthopedic surgery almost right away but it was minimally useful. By age 3, she had racked up over $6,000 in vet bills. Between age 3 and 3 1/2 she racked up another $12,000 (sliding humeral osteotomy x 2 plus all the post care and rads + the stem cell)! They paid for everything except the stem cell therapy. HUGE HELP!!! It allowed me to make the right decisions for her care without thinking about the cost.

I’ve paid out FAR FAR FAR LESS money than they have given back to me I know this isn’t the case for everyone but the day you REALLY need it, you are so glad it’s there. I’m with vetinsurance.com but I’m sure there are other companies who are as good as them.

I insured my new puppy the day he came home! I would never have another pet that isn’t insured. Especially for all my sport dogs, but even for a couch potato
