We bought it for all our dogs, fulfilled all the requirements (DNA, chips, etc.), and bought premiums.
BUT, when Koa, our golden brindle Great Dane, who was insured for her full value, died suddenly after a high fever, they sent us bupkiss.
Waffling, obfuscation and corporate double-speak boiled down to the the esssence. "We were happy to take your money, but now that you have a dead
dog, we have no liability based on, blah, blah, blah and you are responsible for your vet bills, don't bother us anymore." |
Ditto: The premiums are way out of line for what they will pay for , which is not much. I just kicked for $1.800 for a knee operation for my pooch. A
very long rehab is now underway.

Well...so much for insurance. I'll just pile my dog in the car and take her south if it ever comes to that.
My local Vet just shakes his head and says, "The vets up there are sooo greedy."
No sht.

DianaT ....good that you are well. And the pup! I personally have no limits on the cost of keeping my 5 dogs healthy. Hell...they are my kids!
FYI anyone....UC Davis takes in pets for cost only. Most of the time. Check your local University if they have a Vet Education Department ......
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Good on ya for taking care of an important member of your family.
Our Huskies seem to go when it's too late for treatment; usually from cancer cancer.
Me? I'm still here at 80 after 20 years of cancer, go figure!
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

Kudos to you, Diane. Every pet should have an owner who cares as much about them.
My late, great lab, Gypsy developed cancer, but fought a great fight with the help of an good Fargo vet, good meds, and some promises from me to take
her on another duck hunt.
She was 8 then, and lived to 14. Dogs..what would we do without them?
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Diana, I am so happy to hear that both you and Maggie are recuperating nicely. Just the word "chemo" makes me cringe, I know that if Maggie could
speak she would say "ruff, can't wait til this is over", "ruff, I hate this", "ruff, don't like food", "ruff, just let me stay in bed forever".
Hugs for both of you.

I well imagine that the word chemo makes you cringe, and I wouldn't be surprised if it made you run and hide! So happy you are healthy!
Fortunately for Maggie, chemo with a dog usually has far fewer side effects. The dose is so much smaller for a dog. The day after the treatment,
she is not well at all, but we think a part of that is also the stress of having the treatment---it is real difficult to explain to her that what is
happening is for her own good. Her white cell count has not dropped enough to make her really ill, except she did develop a liver infection which was
cured with monster pills.
When you get back to BA, I will have Maggie tell you all about her experience. 
Pompano, ok, we will look for 14 and beyond!
And again, thank you everyone!

Hey, D. Life is littered with pot holes. You already know that.
Just feel that this forum would be the worse for your absence.
