Hi - I expect I have just stepped into a minefield or opened a Pandora's box or both.
I am trying to decide on pet insurance for my two year old dog (Springer) who has pre existing illnesses (as he has been alive, breathing and doing active stuff on the planet during his life …) i.e. a couple of grass seeds, odd ear problem (always swimming) etc and most recently a foreign body ingestion. I have already signed up with a company but after making the big decision to do it - I am now thinking about cooling off on the policy!
I understand taking out the cover when you first pick up the pup is the ideal way to go - but I didn't that and maybe I will next time - so … has anyone got experience with choosing a company for an older dog? I have already run into exclusions for anything remotely related to grass seeds, allergies (he is not allergic), ear problems and probably some other things…..
Any feedback appreciated - there seems to be a lot of poor reviews about Pet Insurance in general on line. Does ANYONE think it is a good idea?
Perhaps don't worry about making suggestions related to getting a dog next time with smaller ears/less hair etc ….. Many Thanks. I would however appreciate feedback on which companies to TRY and which to AVOID.
Happy New Retrieving Year to you all,
Philippa
