Pet Insurance

: I tried Healthy Paws and the experience was terrible. Canceled it right away. 买过Healthy Paws体验极差 果断退
: PetBest—bought the dog policy when the dog was just over 2, now over 4, $40.88 a month. Bought the cat policy when the cat was a few months old, now over 1, $39.67 a month. $250 deductible, no cap… pets best 狗2岁多买的现在4岁多,$40.88每个月,猫几个月买的,现在1岁多,每个月$39.67 自负额$250,无上限…
: This year I just got insurance for my 10.6-year-old cat at home. The deductible is 750, with 90% reimbursement, and a maximum payout of 10,000. I added an extra plan that covers one teeth cleaning, registration, etc. per year, and it's $133 a month, with ASPCA. But seeing this, I'm wondering if I should upgrade to unlimited coverage instead, even though the bloodwork is all green for now. I hope we never have to use the insurance and that it stays healthy and well all the time
今年剛幫家裡10.6歲貓貓買保險,自付750, 90%理賠,最高理賠10000, 加了一個額外洗牙掛號等等一年有一次補助的plan, 一個月$133,ASPCA的。
不過看這樣在想是不是要提到無限上限比較好,雖然目前血檢都是綠字
希望不要用到保險牠一直健健康康
: Warning: avoid Pets Best — their premiums go up by over 30% every year. 避雷pets best 每年涨价30%以上
: Insurance isn't a scam! You're buying it for the "just in case." My dog was perfectly healthy before age 12 and had never been sick. At age 8, because we got a second puppy who was often sick, we got insurance for both of them together. We didn't use the insurance for 4 years, but this month my dog suddenly had trouble walking and was diagnosed with cancer... Several ER visits plus surgery have already cost $20,000, and there's still chemotherapy to come. Insurance saved my dog's life — at least it means I won't have to give up on treatment because of the high medical costs when making important decisions. 保险不是骗人的!买的就是万一!我家小狗12岁前非常健康 从来没生过病。8岁因为又养了第二只小狗经常生病,于是一起给两只上了保险。4年保险都没用到,但是这个月突然走路出现问题 查出来癌症.. 几次ER+手术已经花了2万美金了,后续还要化疗。保险救我狗命,至少在做重要决定前不hui因为高昂医疗费而放弃治疗。
: My family uses Petsbest! We bought the unlimited plan, 90% coverage, $1,000 deductible, and we got reimbursed within a week. 我家是Petsbest! 买的unlimited, cover 90%,$1000 deductible, 1周内就报销了
回复 @无尾熊_ : The doctor visits aren't fully covered though. Last time it was over 190, and they only reimbursed 50. Allergies aren't covered either, and neither is the ear medication. Only the diarrhea medication was covered. My deductible is 250 with no cap, but you have to upload the claim after seeing the doctor. I didn't hit the 250, so I got no reimbursement. 但是医生看诊不好不包,我上次190多,报了50.过敏也不包,耳朵药也不包,就包了拉肚子的药,我自负额250无上限,但看了就是要上传嘛,我没有250,所以没有赔付.
: They're all just money traps. I canceled the insurance when my kid was just over a year old![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
I'll wait until I'm older to see if there's anything that doesn't rip you off 🐱 都是骗钱的,1岁多就退保险了![[笑哭]](/assets/emoji/comment-emoji/dm_xiaoku@2x.png?v=1)
等老了再看看有没有不坑🐱的
: Used it for a few years, then stopped. Feels like a scam. Once you get older and they realize you might cost them more, they jack up your premium for the next year. 用过几年 停了 感觉就是scam 一旦年纪大一些 发现可能会多花费 就大幅提高下一年保额
: We've always compared prices with Pets Best and found that for our dog, their monthly premium is the most budget-friendly. We've also been reimbursed by them—their claim submission is simple and the money comes through quickly. 我们一直用pests best对比价格之后发现对于我家的狗来说这个每个月的premium最友好。我们也reimburse过他家的claim submission也简单钱打的也快
: Pet insurance absolutely has to be Unlimited. At the end of last year, my kitten was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma — hospitalization plus chemotherapy cost almost as much as a Model 3. Thank goodness I got HealthyPaws when she was little. Even though the 90% reimbursement rate was lowered to 70% at last year's renewal, it still helped a lot. 宠物保险一定要选Unlimited了。去年底猫崽子查出大细胞淋巴瘤,住院+化疗差不多小一辆麻豆3了。还好从小买了HealthyPaws,虽然去年 renewal 90%报销比例被降低到了70%,真帮助不少。
: I've been buying healthypaws since my kitten was 6 months old, and now at 11 years old, the premium has gone up 15 times, from $19 to $359
healthypaws从小猫6个月就开始买了,到现在11岁,保费涨了15倍,从19块涨到了359块
: Most insurance is a scam 大多数保险都是scam
: I used to use Pets Best. Started using it when my cat was two, and the premium went up 50% every year, so I eventually canceled it. 之前一直用pets best 从咪子两岁开始用每年涨50%,后来停掉了
: Mine is PetBest with a $2,000 deductible, and it was about $45 every few months. This year it went up by over $75. Having $2,000 set aside in your pocket is better. My dog is 15 this year and very healthy. Paying for expensive coverage isn't as good as feeding fresh/raw food — my family is the best example, she's never been sick. Buying insurance is purely for peace of mind. I started buying it when she was about 11. 我的是pet best $2000deductible 好像每幾個月$45 今年漲$75多 只要兜裡備用$2000好過 狗狗15歲今年 非常健康 買的貴保額 不如來個健康鮮食/生食 我家就是最好例子 沒病過 買保險純屬心裡安撫 從大概11歲開始買的
回复 @Bdyc : No, not really. Even for basic stuff, it usually costs over 5,000. My cat had urinary blockage once — 7,000+, and twice it was 15,000. When you think about it that way, it's not expensive. The 2,000 is for a whole year, not per visit. 不是的,基本随便一点就需要5千以上,我的猫尿闭一次7000+两次一万五。这样想就知道不贵了。2000是一年的不是一次
: $2000 deductible is worse than just paying out of pocket. 2000deductable还不如自费呢

: Where do you live? 你住哪?
: Bookmarked for now, I'll take a closer look when I have a furry friend. Thanks ☺️ 先收藏,等有毛孩子了再仔细看看。谢谢☺️

: You can check the Google reviews — they're pretty bad. 你可以看看 google review 差的一批
回复 @SkidNP : Nationwide pet insurance's Google reviews are also terrible, honestly none of them seem that great. Nationwide pet insurance Google review 也是差的一批, 感觉都不咋地
: Does anyone have recommendations for senior cat insurance? The one I'm using now, Fetch, said during renewal that they can only cover up to 70%, and the deductible is a whopping $500. 老年猫咪大家有推荐的吗 现在用的fetch的 renew的时候说最多只能cover 70% 而且deductible居然要500
: 我自己用lemonade的保險 8/6剛提交第一次claim 大概2小時有個真人review 然後就通過了,然後在第二次提交claim 就馬上通過了,還不錯,但是沒有unlimited選項,我是$100 deductible 然後賠付90% 我自己用lemonade的保險 8/6剛提交第一次claim 大概2小時有個真人review 然後就通過了,然後在第二次提交claim 就馬上通過了,還不錯,但是沒有unlimited選項,我是$100 deductible 然後賠付90%
回复 @Sandyyy : My two 9-year-olds cost 110 a month, and it goes up every year. A year ago it was still just over 70 a month. 我的两个九岁一个110 一个月,而且每年都再涨,一年钱还是70多一个月
回复 @匿名用户 : It depends on the age. One of my cats is 8 years old, around 640 a year, which is about right. Then the 3-to-4-year-old one is 360. 看年紀呢 我其中一個貓8歲一年640 差不多,然後3歲多4歲的360
