Pet Insurance For Older Dogs

Pet (dog) insurance from EMBRACE for my 8 wks old Shih Tzu?

I just got my puppy yesterday. I have been doing research on Pet Insurance. I have narrowed it down to Banfield and Embrace. Banfiled only have the wellness plan which I like but I like Embrace accidental plan. Can I buy both?

What Cookie was saying about approved lists and what companies “think” a procedure should cost: this is called a benefits schedule. I agree that you should not go with a pet insurance company that uses benefits schedules.

That said, not all pet insurance companies go by these lists. I have my dog insured with Trupanion and they pay 90% of the ACTUAL bill, and don’t go by a list of benefits schedules.

Secondly, I partially agree with them about the Banfield wellness plan. I have heard complaints, and I believe you are only allowed to use it at the Banfield vets. With any other pet insurance company, you can choose any Vet. And on the topic of wellness plans– it actually makes more sense financially to budget for check-ups and vaccinations out of your own pocket. Pet insurance companies charge you more to provide wellness coverage so you end up losing money if you pay for it through a company.

With the right company and an understanding of exactly what they cover, pet insurance is great. I have only had it about 3 months and have already had to use it.

I would definitely recommend Trupanion as they are very fair and straight forward. They cover 90% of the actual bill, no claim limits or annual limits, just a lifetime limit. They don’t raise your premiums as your pet ages either, which most companies do.

I researched Embrace a little, and they raise premiums with pet age. They also have annual limits for how much you can claim, and obviously its more expensive to get a higher limit. You also have to pay extra to get them to cover a higher % of the bill. And it looks like they have “usual, customary, and reasonable” veterinary costs which is a fancy way of saying benefits schedule.

Well good luck with your puppy! Glad you’re considering pet insurance regardless of which company you choose because puppies seem to be the most prone to accidents

Certifect for Dogs $51 Ticks are growing in number, are migrating to new areas and have now been found in most areas of the United States. According to The Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), cases of Lyme disease and anaplasmosis in pets more than doubled from 2009 to 2010, clear evidence that the family dog is at increased risk for infestations. To address this issue, Merial, the makers of the No. 1 veterinarian-recommended flea and tick control product have introduced CERTIFECT . CERTIFECT with Fipronil, (S)-methoprene and Amitraz, is an advanced monthly topical solution that provides proven flea protection with added tick-killing power. CERTIFECT has been approved for puppies older than eight weeks and greater than or equal to five pounds and can be used on pregnant and lactating dogs. CERTIFECT kills ticks in 18 hours vs. the current standard for tick-killing efficacy of between 24-48 hours. The speed of kill for ticks is of vital importance because the sooner a tick is killed, the less likely it is to transmit infectious agents. CERTIFECT starts rapidly killing Deer ticks, which transmit the infectious bacteria known to cause Lyme disease, in just six hours. CERTIFECT is also the only topical product that detaches ticks. CERTIFECT also kills adult fleas and destroys fleas’ life cycle by killing flea eggs and larvae. Also kills chewing lice and aids in the control of chewing lice and sarcoptic mange infestations.
