First Time Crisis, First Time Pet Insurance User
I got pet insurance when my kid was just 2 months old and was thinking about stopping it honestly. He was 3 now and nothing had happened to him. Super healthy and everything in life was great. Then I moved to an area I had no idea about and a week later he couldn't pee. He had bladder stones and they had obstructed his urethra. He had to have emergency surgery and I went to one hospital and then was recommended to go to another hospital for overnight care. I was just running around crying and driving, then crying more. Then on top of it all, the bill came. Im not a manager, Im just a lowly worker bee and just don't have that kind of money. Submitting my claim I thought was going to be super hard and take forever to process. You hear insurance and you think think $$$ and taking forever to get help. The submission form online guides you and it took like a week and a half to get money back. AND they covered 2/3rds of the surgery. Like, WHAT?! I was surprised. They even called to check in to see how my pup was doing. Luckily my job let me pick up more hours to help me pay off the rest of my credit card in bigger chunks and my baby healed right up. This insurance has been a helping hand and I don't think I will be cancelling any time soon.
