[Dailydrool] Pet insurance

[wendt greenberg]

Noodle (aka Becky) has Trupanion Pet Insurance.  They  DO NOT pay for routine care, but if the dog gets really sick (cancer etc) they
pay the amount in full (minus $500) deductible.  We only had 2 minor claims so far (that did not exceed our deductible), but we like
the company so far.  First, our vet has a bunch of forms so she just automatically fills them out for us.  Secondly, if your dog is
really sick then they pay the vet or hospital directly and you are not out of pocket or stuck with a huge credit card bill.  Thirdly,
they were willing to insure an older dog (she was 6 when we started) and did not have a huge premium.  We started at $35 month.
Now we pay $40/month but it was not because she aged, it was because the company was running out of money because they
paid so many claims.   Before signing up we checked around and they had recently paid out directly a $9,000 claim at our vet
hospital.
