But you also have to take their age into consideration. My cat is 9yrs and even with pumpkin I have to pay almost $60 a month for a indoor cat.
The one thing I don't like about insurance of any kind is that if you don't use it, you lose all that money you pay for insurance. It's like throwing your hard earned cash out the window or simply burning it.
Exactly this, I've heard ppl who have a lower risk of needing emergency visits such as mostly indoor well behaved pets, using the money you'd use towards your payment into a savings account is better
Pre existing conditions are Not covered with Pumpkin insurance and most others as well. The essentials says it covers only one vaccine a yr now maybe they are changing the insurance policy for new subs.
Absolutely, right! Get insurance asap. We have two Samoyed puppies (3 months old) and one had its elbow fractured while they were playing and it cost us $8,012 not including check ups and rehab.
Oh my gosh! How awful! I hope your furry friend made a full recovery. It's crazy how expensive medication and check ups can be.
I'm getting my Sammy in 6 days and we are comparing between Pumpkin (Local vet recommend), Petsbest, and Trupanion.
I just signed up for a pet insurance for my new cat. First time having a pet insurance and I know it will come handy for sure :) I got Pumpkin too.
Nice! It definitely comes in handy when you least expect it.
I hope you will get your money back when you decided to get your reimbursement money back. I hope they won’t cheated you. If they do you need to close your account with them. I wished someone told me this. But as always I had to learned the hard way.
I have used Pumpkin for reimbursement and had a very positive experience. Def recommends
hi! Im planning on getting a samoyed puppy in september, when do you think is the best time to enroll in insurance? thank you!
I would suggest getting pet insurance about 3 weeks before you pick up your puppy. It might take about 2 weeks for everything to process.
So you are saying medications are NOT covered at all??? Not a word about this was mentioned to me when I called to inquire. Are there any exceptions to this rule ?
Hi! I think it depends on what the medication is for. If it’s preventative (that is, covered by the Preventative Essentials) then there is a limit on the amount covered. Otherwise, for treatment, medication, the 90% coverage after deductible should generally apply. Hope that helps!
But still you didn't add up what you spent on premium's per month , You need to add up those total costs also . I am on the fence here with all pet insurances
About 40 percent of all claims are denied with pet insurance companies. They good at accepting your money, not good at giving it up. They all raise rates every year, sometimes drastic increases. Its like going to vegas, most people lose with pet insurance, a few will have large claims that are paid. Its stack in the house favor. The lady in the video is going to pee her britches when they raise her rates as the dog gets older.
@@magnumpi28 exactly. Me and wife just got a shih tsu and wife almost signed up for pet Insurnace until I went over it and explained what a waste it is. We can and are putting the same premium every month in the bank for our new Phoebe girl and more likely then not we'll have a nice nest egg ready when she does need care. At first the shots will be a expense but in 6 months time we will alrdy have more saved to 100% pay the bill to have her fixed and then continue to put it away for foreseeable future. Their won't be a expense we won't be able to cover doing it this way. They want you to pay a YEARLY deductible of $300 to $500 or more on top of $60 to $100 plus a month just to receive a possible discount of a measly $15 to $25 off shots or $150 off a teeth cleaning that costs 1000. Their in the business to make profits of pet Insurnace so that means they won't cover expensive things and their betting on the math that you won't have many health related expenses overall or they wouldn't let you have it. Then they won't even pay upfront the bill so your stuck paying it then resubmitting it to them and hoping they cover a decent amount weeks later. It's a scam. Yea it works out for some but overall they make out and most people lose money for "peace of mind" if you don't have money then don't have a pet. Or start right away putting funds away every month to care for future expenses so their isn't any "oh crap" vet bills.
@@Games.Gadgets.Sports I agree, maybe the only exception might be a accidental policy if you dont watch your dog closlely and it could get hit by a car. Its only like 20 bucks a month and covers accidents or injures. Maybe for a small puppy that loves to eat anything or a ol country dog that could get attacked by something or snake bitten. Very rare but maybe a few people could benefit by accidental only but for most probably a waste like the regular policy thats a waste you talked about.
