Apollo

Dimitropoulo, Montreal, QB

About five days after getting Apollo the Pug, I decided to purchase pet insurance from Petsecure after looking on the Internet. If anything would happen, at least I would be covered.

I was skeptical at first, because Apollo was only two months old and he seemed very healthy. What could happen, other than his regular visits?

About six months later, Apollo showed some signs of limping on his right leg. I waited a few days to see if it would get better. Unfortunately, it did not.

I quickly took Apollo to the clinic to have him examined, and he was diagnosed with necrosis of the femoral head. After careful examination, I was referred to a specialist that would have to perform extensive surgery on Apollo's hip to have the head of the femur removed.

I was astonished at the cost. Considering I had only been a member of Petsecure pet insurance for four months, I was even scared to call, thinking that I may not even be insured. But a wonderful Petsecure customer care representative walked me through my pet insurance plan and explained what Apollo was covered for.

Apollo is now 19 months old, and he is FULLY recovered, running and playing at 100! Petsecure pet insurance covered the medications, pre- and post-surgery.

What was astonishing was that the representatives not only offered information, but their well wishes and support during that difficult time. I can say only one thing to anyone who buys a pet, now: "Do you have pet insurance?" It is truly what your pet needs, but also deserves. Thank you, Petsecure!
