| susiewho's Full Review: Veterinary Pet Insurance |
Initially I signed up with Veterinary Pet Insurance, Brea, Calif. because we had adopted a rather old dog and I felt considering his age we would most likely run into health problems.
About 6 months or so after we had him enrolled he developed Cancer. We were devastated and took him to not only a veterinarian but a Veterinary Oncologist for treatment. Despite numerous letters explaining the time frame of his illness coverage was denied.
Despite this we enrolled our other two dogs with the company. We felt we understood the hesitancy of the company to cover him since the Cancer could have been pre-existing and we just weren't aware of it. We did have the Vet send letters explaining all this to no avail however, we were too devastated to continue to fight the issue.
Several months later we got another Chi. He later took a fall. We had an emergency visit to the Veterinarian, nothing was broken. He was put on pain medication and at the time they also pointed out that he had a luxating patella (knee joint that dislocate). This is a genetic problem Chihuahuas are prone to. It had nothing to do with the fall but the company refused to cover this as well, again despite numerous letters from our Veterinarian explaining that there was no connection.
Our third Chi developed an abscess-again, visits to the Vet. Again, no coverage.
I called the company and gave them the whole story and cancelled the insurance. This company doesn't back up any of its claimed services. I would avoid them like the plague. They offer a horrifying lack of support just when you need them the most.
