Made decisions a lot easierI
I insured my boxer girl, Macy, when my boxer boy, Brody, was terminal with cancer. He was 10 at the time and had had three knee surgeries and several health issues. I checked into insurance as Macy was four years younger and hadn't had many health issues. I also insured my cat, Bentley, who was a few months older than Macy. Bentley was the one who ended up needing the insurance first. He started having liver issues. It turned out he had a thymoma tumor by his heart. With ASPCA insurance I was able to get him surgery to remove the tumor. He was with us for a year and a half longer, but he succumbed to his health issues. They paid for his cremation too. They have also been great with issues with Macy, such as a low grade cancerous leg tumor, dental disease and when she was attacked by our other dogs. Unfortunately we are now putting them to the test again, as she was recently diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy, a doggie form of Lou Gehrig's disease. I would rather not have to use our insurance, but it has made treatment and diagnostic choices a lot easier. I give them a 9 instead of a 10 because at times, the claims can take several weeks to be completed. But so far they have come through for us on the medical needs for both Bentley and now Macy. I recently insured our newest additions, 3 kittens. As per our experience at this point, I highly recommend ASPCA pet insurance.
