Pet Health Insurance

[Joseph Hewitt]

I've recently been looking at several pet health insurance plans and have been very dismayed. Most of the plans have some sort of regular payment with a set of "covered" expenses. From what I've seen, the pricing is worse than human health insurance - and that is saying something. With pets living longer, there is an increased likelihood that you'll have some sort of financial outlay later on in your pet's life. However, the plans I reviewed had very little coverage past the scheduled shots and office visits. My arguments is that insurance should not cover the small costs anyways, it should be true insurance and cover the majority of higher end expenses (this is my feeling for us humans too, but that's a different blog post on a different site).

We would love to get some feedback from those who have pet insurance, but more importantly, those who have had to use it. What has been good about it? What has been bad?
