A great insurance option for your pets
I recently changed jobs and was able to get a discount for having an ASPCA insurance policy, so I changed to it from Trupanion. My wife and I have insurance on all of our pets (2 dogs and 2 cats), and we have tried all of the main providers including Trupanion, Nationwide, and ASPCA. Recently our youngest, Luna, was having severe pain in the stomach and we had to go to the emergency vet multiple times within the same week. On the second trip, they decided to perform a biopsy on her GI tract and she stayed in the hospital for 3 days. The total cost was right around $8k total, of which ASPCA covered our yearly max of $5k. We received this payment in less than a week after the surgery, which is a great turnaround time. We had no issues with the claim or any questions that we had, which was awesome. I highly recommend ASPCA for your pet insurance; the only one which would be a higher recommendation would be Trupanion with a vet who supports their pay now option (basically, they pay your insurance claim to the vet directly while you are still there with no delays). Luna is doing fine now, and while I hope that I will not need to use the insurance, I'm happy with the fact that it's a smooth process if I do need it.
