Don't Waste Your $ on Pet Insurance!
I insured my dog and cat for 12 years with Nationwide. I regret that I did. It was a waste of money.
I never made a claim for the cat, but the dog had several surgeries after she turned 10. She had three benign tumors removed. Then she developed lymphoma and had a fourth surgery.
Her ultimate, fatal condition was a trigeminal nerve sheaf tumor, which was inoperable.
She died August 1.
I paid them thousands of dollars over the years. Between $15,000-20,000 for the two animals.
The reimbursements were a small fraction of my costs for care. At one point, she had a tumor removed from her eyelid. The bill: $3,500. The reimbursement: about $700.
What's the point of paying for insurance when the coverage is so miniscule?
I would have saved thousands of dollars by having no insurance at all.
