It would be better to take your premium and put it in a savings account. They don’t pay out nearly enough to make it worth it, and they basically steal your money while your pet dies. I paid a $215 monthly premium over a 6 year period which amounts to a little over $15k. When my pet had a major medical emergency and passed away, her medical bill came to $2800. They paid less than 40% of that bill. With all due respect, SCREW that!
