ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

I have a 11 month old Bullmastiff, named Bocce. Bocce is very inquisitive and has a way of getting into all sorts of trouble. I had been trying to leave Bocce uncrated for very short periods of time when I left the house. He seemed to be doing very well UNTIL one day that I left him for two hours. I removed all of the potential hazards (or so I thought) from the room, but when I returned home I found my living room covered with pillow stuffing. He had demolished 3 of the 4 throw pillows in the room. I hadn’t realized that he ate the stuffing until he started to vomit later on that evening. I took him to the vet, and they advised me to have a series of xrays taken to determine if he had an intestinal obstruction. I knew that this would be costly, and that the pet insurance would most likely not cover the xrays, because this was not an illness. I chose to have them take the xrays regardless. There was no obstruction found, only a belly full of stuffing. We had to play the waiting game to see if an obstruction would occur, and surgery would have to be performed, or if he would pass the stuffing without a problem. Thank God, he did not get an obstruction. I submitted a claim as a formality, and sure enough ASPCA Pet Health covered the occurrence. This was a blessing to me, and truly any time I have filed a claim or had to deal with ASPCA staff, it was a breeze. The staff there are very concerned and caring. Getting this coverage was one of the best doggie decision

I have 3 dogs, 12, 9 and 5, 2 x Beagles, 1 - Labradoodle After the elder one had an ACL injury which cost us in excess of $900 my vet suggested we get insurance since these costs can mount up. So we did, about 2 months later the 12 year old grew a golf ball sized syst on her rear hind quarter which required surgery and labwork. This insurance kicked in and they paid a larger proportion of the costs. I will never be without pet insurance again, ASPCA were very good to deal with and painless.

I have a rescued Greyhound and she got sick in May of this year. Thank goodness my good friend told me about ASPCA Pet insurance because it saved me a lot of money in Vet. bills. I only have the plan for injury & illness but I feel it is well worth the monthly payment. Chris

My long hair Chiwawa mix ran into a cactus the kind with very large stickers and also very small stickers. I took him to the vet, where he needed to be put under to get all of the small, difficult to see stickers out. He emerged unscathed, I turned the paperwork into ASPCA and they covered it as agreed.I feel, however, that if the dog insurance carriers really want to help their "dog-parents", they will communicate with the vets when it comes to cost of care. Some snake bite sirems can become very costly and the ins. cos won't want to pay for them. Without restraining the doctors, maybe some established sirems and emergency practices could be reviewed so that they are covered and don't become to expensive. Then you insurance buyer would really have the confidence to buy your product

We own a miniature daschund (Grace) and an English bulldog (Rebel). They got into a pack of disposable razors, and were brought in for treatment. After being treated for the razor incident, Grace was found to have a heart condition. ASPCA covered 80% of the cost for both incidents. They were fairly quick to respond, and they didn't give us any trouble. Without them, we could not have afforded care for our baby dogs.
