Bitey
Megan Wahl, Toronto, ON
When we got our puppy, Bitey, we were overjoyed and more than ready for the new addition to our family. I had previously talked to my husband about pet insurance, but he didn't really understand the need for it. After the first week we had her, he fully understood.
Little did we know that our adorable puppy was deathly ill. Within two days she was hospitalized due to infection, severe worms, and a case of parvovirus that nearly killed her. We treated her for months, and her vet bill was in the thousands of dollars.
Even with the expense looming over us, I was relieved because we had Petsecure pet insurance. I could focus on my puppy's well being and not worry about how we could possibly afford another huge vet bill! The weight off of our shoulders was immense. I can say that, from personal experience, there is nothing more horrible than already being distraught about your pet's ill health, and then having to worry about how to afford another procedure.
The next morning our phone rang with great news! Shelby was doing much better and had passed the blockage. We could go pick her up and bring her home. During this entire ordeal, we knew the costs were adding up but we couldn't imagine life without Shelby so we authorized any test that needed to be done. The total cost was $1,100. If Shelby would've had to get surgery, it would have cost us anywhere in-between $2,000-$4,000.
I can't say enough about Petsecure pet insurance to friends and family (even strangers in the dog park). Petsecure not only covered Bitey's eye problem, but they were more than helpful, very understanding on the phone, and prompt to issue cheques to cover the costs.
Anyone who thinks that pet health insurance isn't a good idea should heed this story, and anyone who is considering pet insurance should get Petsecure. No insurance company that I have ever dealt with has treated me as kindly, honestly, or promptly as Petsecure.
