Pet insurance is a fairly new topic for me and I wanted to start a thread about to see what everyone's thoughts are. Also, hopefully discussing something else can serve as distraction from my checking email every 5 seconds and stalking the mail man. I feel as though I've come down with sudden onset OCD.
Anyways, I'll go first... Let me start by saying I know little to nothing about this topic and my opinions are based on no hard fact. The clinics I have worked in did not offer any particular pet insurance and I only remember a few clients with especially accident prone animals having it. My biggest worry with pet insurance is 1) paying more for it than your healthy pet will ever use, and 2) seeing the trend in human medicine, I would hate to see Veterinarians hands tied by CEO's, and in the long term, driving pet medical prices so high that someone without pet insurance could not afford standard medical care.
Any takers?...
