Yup, and i have to say pet insurance has really improved in the last 10 year or so since we had our lest dog. I had it back then, and it was more akin to dental insurance.

Our new puppy arguably has better insurance than i do, and I have pretty good insurance.

Thank you! I'm definitely going to get pet insurance for her, I just wish I had gotten it sooner that way I wouldn't have to go through a waiting period for now

well that and now you potentially have pre-existing conditions. So be very cautious when you shop around.

I'm not going to name drop, but there are basically 3 carriers you want to look at. Which one is right for you depends on a bunch of things. Anyone outside the 3 are a scam, or, as i mentioned earlier, akin to dental insurance (will chop down the bill a bit for something minor here and there, but not save you from a big unexpected expense).

Edit: failed to mention nobody will cover the current situation, so don't look at it as a way out.

Also i'm not a cat person, my experience with it is with dogs, and i know the numbers for cats are very different.
