Hi Everyone,
I've been a lurker for a while but I'm finally getting a basset at the end of August. I'm checking into pet insurance because you never know what could happen and I would hate to not have the money when my baby needs it or run up a huge credit card bill.
VPI and Pet Health are the two companies that I have found so far. I'm leaning towards VPI because they are cheaper and the coverage seems better. Plus at VPI they offer a routine care plan that offers some benefits for annual exams/shots and things like that.
Pet Health charges extra for bassets (no explanation) and they also have higher rates. Also, they have a lifetime benefit maximum. So, it seems they aren't the best.
Does anyone have any experience with pet insurance? If so, who is your provider and how much are the annual rates for your basset? VPI was around $310 per year with the routine care plan and Pet Health was $457 per year.
Thanks,
Daisy
