ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

As economic times got tough, my employer cut hours and wages. My dog, Gustavo, has always been very healthy, but was getting older. I did not know how I would be able to pay for major veterinary expenses with the money I was making. I had tried once before to insure Gustavo, but was told by that insurance provider that my dog was too old. Applying for insurance ASPCA was a quick and hassle free process, and they insured my dog at 10 years of age. I have since filed two claims, one for a tail injury, and the other for a check up when Gustavo seemed lethargic. Each time I called for assistance or had questions, I was connected to a very knowledgeable, patient and sweet pet insurance agent, who answered all of my questions. Both claims were processed in a timely manner. I do not know how I could have afforded these two vet bills had it not been for the assistance of the ASPCA Pet Insurance. It has proven to be an excellent decision.

One evening my sheepdog and I were relaxing, when suddenly without warning, he jumped about three feet into the air and began to sneeze violently. I knew that the only foreign body to produce such a clinical picture was a foxtail.I drove him to the ED, where the doctor examined him, but couldn't find the foxtail, I reluctantly took him home. The following morning, he sneezed out a blood clot. This time I took him to his regular doctor, where under anesthesia he removed the largest foxtail I had ever seen. He's been fine ever since. My medical bill was for $260.00, his ASPCA insurance covered 60%. I've have had several scares with my sheep dog, but thanks th ASPCA insurance, I don't have to worry, because I know they are there for my dog at any cost. He has been insured since he was a puppy, and I'm glad he is. I am very grateful, Thank you ASPCA you really care about animals.

I have been more than happy with ASPCA. Trips to the Vet are costly and when my clumsy Boys have an accident, I have been pleasantly surprised with the polite, professional and financial help we have received.

This company has been relatively fair in reimbursements and upholding policy promises but are not completely fair when it comes to THEM deciding what is claimable and what is not.

One day my Bentley started vomiting. He started doing this several times in one week. Hiw bowels were also very soft. You could see he was losing weight and he was moping around, not normal for him. Usually he is very playful. I took him to the Vet and they ran all kinds of tests, which you know are very expensive. With the visit, the tests and the medicine, the charge was over $500. I submitted my claim by faxing in the papers. A few weeks later, I received a check for part of the expenses. What a relief. Seems like everytime I take Bentley to the Vet, the bills are so outrageous.....and I am so happy to be with ASPCA. We insure ourselves, and we must insure our pets. They are part of our family and we love them dearly. We chose the plan that covers neutering, so Bentley is being neutered this Friday and will probably have his teeth cleaned while he is under the sedation. Very comforting knowing that part of this will be covered by the ASPCA insurance. I tell all my friends with pets that we have this insurance and encourage them to look into it for their family pets.
