Wrong… Any emergency and many diagnostic tests can easily run into the thousands.

Homemade whoopie pies are the best.

Can’t Sam just make some more or is he busy?

Pet insurance isn't worth it or necessary the same way that health insurance is for people. You are better off just saving up that $300-500 per year that you would spend. There really aren't catastrophic medical expenses for pets that would cause you to spend $20k or something stupid like that.

The only good whoopie pies were the ones sam's made in the 90s before they went to the mass produced ones.

I'm gonna one up you buddy, whoopie pies are just gross. It's like eating diabetes.

(I have tried them a bunch throughout my life, I can't be 100% on the ingredients though, so you could be on to something OP)

i will absolutely keep that in mind, thank you so much!

that's great to hear!! with all the comments recommending it, that might be what we go with!!

You’re right and you should say it

Seconding Trupanion. I believe most vets (especially corporate owned) accept them. Pet insurance is better than people insurance.

We have had Trupanion for over 10 years, through 4 dogs. Their customer service, coverage, and kindness are unparalleled. I’m also in the insurance industry and so I’m very critical of each of those benchmarks.

I think Mainers are all in bed by 8 pm lol

I will never forget landing one time at the jetport after 6 pm on a Sunday and this fellow passenger could not grasp WHY Starbucks was closed!

Our vet practice recommended Trupanion. They offer cat and dog coverage

I work in insurance - we recommend the pet insurance through ASPCA! Give your local agent a quick call or email after you talk to your vet. Your insurance team can help you get the coverage set up and help service the policy/claims for you too

Ya, most plans that I researched worked on a reimbursement plan. You had to pay the vet up front and then you would submit a claim for reimbursement later.

Be very careful to check exclusions and preexisting condition policies. A lot of coverage can be excluded under preexisting conditions if the insurance wasn't purchased as a puppy or kitten. I looked into getting insurance for my dog when he was about 6. But he had a history in medical file of stomach issues (he liked to eat a lot of "not food") so all stomach related issues were excluded. Which was mostly what I wanted it for.

I will definitely get insurance for my next puppy.

It closes at 8pm weekdays, but if you have a chance, stop at the A-1 Diner in Gardiner. Take Exit 102 on I-95 head 3 miles east on Hwy 126. The food is worth it.

i never even thought of that! it'll definitely be my first step, thank you!!

awesome! i will definitely be looking into that!

I'd ask your local veterinarian and or animal hospital to see what they recommend (and if they integrate the insurance plan with their billing).

Nationwide great, great company. They cover all our exotics, can't imagine they'd not be good at a domesticated breed.

I worry about forest fires as there will be drought and trees will die that can't take heat like the boreal areas in the County.

Yes I am one. I can't take summer with constant 90.s . I came here and hide in the water under a bridge in the bad days. I rather brave leaches than heat stroke.

Every day alive is living the dream. Kicking ass my lost soul.
