Pre-existing condition opinions
I wouldn't say they are horrible because they have helped me through a lot of issues with my dog. The area I do not agree with is their "opinion" of pre-existing conditions. A dog that itches doesnt mean it is related to allergies. Could be mites, atopic dermatitis, a crawling insect, and so much more! When I adopted my dog he has some itchy skin. The vet did skin scrape and nothing abnormal was seen however we treated as if it was demodex and after a little while the itching resolved. Over a year later my dog developed itching so since I am in the veterinary field I chose to take him to a dermatologist. ASPCA said the "itching" was pre-existing. He was itching for a completely different reason. I appealed and the still determined it was pre-existing. Not much I can do but keep them because my dog will need another hip surgery soon and I cant go to another company because that really is pre-existing.
So all in all I should have gone with another company especially since I get a discount through my job for nationwide. Aspca wont give veterinary technicians a discount unless the actually work in practice, I work on the industry side. Not entirely happy with this insurance plan.
