CareyJ Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I know I have posted in the general thread but I just wanted to know if any of you have pet insurance and who is it with?I wanted to get it for my boy I have spoken to a few vets and they recommended it, I just wanted to see what you all thought about it and even better as you are in WA. Thanks :D Vader's mum, I couldnt recommend getting pet insurance more highly. Luckily, we got it in July and are so glad we did. As most people in this thread would be aware (sorry to those that werent, it is a really sad story). 3 weeks ago our beautiful Leila (GSP aged 21 months) was diagnosed with cytosistic sarcoma (an uncommon cancer of the lymph nodes, liver and spleed). It progressed incredibly quickly, the onlology vet at Murdoch believed she only had the disease (with no symptoms visible) for 2 to 3 weeks before diagnosis. We spent nearly $7000 trying to give her a fighting chance but unfortunately we decided that the disease had progressed quicker than the treatment could help her and the long term prognosis was not good (limited chance of remission and only short published remission times) so we chose to pts so she didnt have to suffer. We were insured with PIA and at this stage I cant comment on their service as the claims have been sent in but have not yet been paid. We had accident and illness with a $100 excess. It made any decision only based on what was best for her and giving her the best fighting chance and making sure she wasnt suffering which eased the burden a lot. The vets at Murdoch also said they deal with insurance companies regularly and are more than happy to argue if it is needed. You might think it will never happen - and we didnt think it would, and have never had insurance before, but we would never be without it now.

And I 110% agre with you about insurance, I got it for Lincoln before I had even brought him home and it saved me $4,500 in vet bills after emergency surgery! I am with medibank private.

Tiggy Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 a SBT Puppy How could it not be naughty! Too busy being cute to be naughty The only thing I have to do is cover up my front fence cause the gaps are big enough for her to get out, this is the third puppy I've had to cover it for now, why oh why couldn't the gaps be closer together . I'll probably jinx myself now and she'll be a little destucto puppy :p . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
