My wife and I operate a dog rescue, and we have tried the pet insurance route in the past. We had nothing but problems. Every claim we filed was denied for some reason or other. I don’t remember the name of the company. I saw a comment on Progressive, we may take a look at that.
I wasn't suggesting that you go to the vet. I was defining basic since you were confused.
It's not odd, Again, you are just insistent on portraying an argument or scenario that I didn't relay or doesn't apply. Here again, you just need to read what I said, and understand it. I didn't say you (or anyone else) needs to go to the vet for flea&tick, or heartworm. I don't. I said it was a cost and it's weird that you employ the compartmentalization of costs like you do. But you do you precious, as you say.
I can agree that humans have made some breeds "high maintenance" in terms of breeding and health issues. However, otherwise healthy breeds can have a random issue. I mean if you just off them with a .22 because it's below $100 or bust, then more power to you. You have relayed that they are expendable as you can just go get a new one. Glad none of my dogs are in your care lol. Naturally, we differ, as I see them as part of the family and try to give them the best life I can within reason. Now before you exaggerate that statement, that just means, good food, exercise, and reasonable health care.

Someone mentioned Nationwide and I will say from direct experience of working with them and Progressive...... try Nationwide lol. Progressive is typically garbage when it comes to claims. Granted again, no experience with pet policies, but as a whole....
Awwwww, bless your heart.
I can handle a little abuse, and you don't have to put me down if it takes me more than 100 bucks in bourbon to get over it.
At that point we only disagree on what is considered 'reasonable' healthcare. We both see them as a part of the family, though not on par with cherished humans. And we give them the best life we can while they're healthy. It's only the moment they turn unhealthy that we part ways.
I've seen some folks spend thousands on their dogs to get cancer cut out or gut work done, only to have them suffer and die in months. I've also seen some folks that let their dogs run wild, never flea dip them, and never vaccinate them and 12 years later that old hound dies on the front porch barking at a ghost.
When it's all said and done, and our boys are in the ground I just prefer to have those thousands of dollars available to spend on my own healthcare. We all have different priorities.
Get it. Costs can get up there. Some people say " it's only a dog/cat."
Eff that, they are family. My Lady works as a manager at a animal hospital in Berkeley. They had a patient with some sort of bladder blockage. Cost was well over $5k, owner didn't even blink.
Pets aren't throw away objects. Some people in this thread shouldn't own a dog/pet... maybe a rock, if that's in your budget.

Damn… reading through this is a bit ridiculous really. Pet obsessed people are very opinionated lol. Glad I’m not a dog person and don’t own one.
Well I guess I'm thankful to not be in that either/or situation. Different priorities for sure.
