With Maya's recent injury (and the crazy vet bills associated with it), I decided I should probably look into getting some pet insurance. This is something that I had never considered before. I barely have insurance; why should I get some for a dog? Well, now I know.
If you've ever looked into getting insurance for yourself, you know how time-consuming it can be. Luckily, it's a little easier finding something for a pet. While it did take a couple of hours, I think I found the right one for us. I opted for "Accident Only" coverage. I figure I can take care of her regular appointments and vaccinations, etc; I just need a little help in case another 4-digit bill comes my way.
One thing I didn't count on was a broken leg being considered a pre-existing condition. I knew things like diabetes and hip dysplasia would be considered pre-existing conditions, but a broken leg? So basically, if she breaks any leg in the next 12 months, it won't be covered. While I'm hoping she never breaks one again, I was also hoping if she did, I'd have some coverage. Oh well.
