I am putting this in off topic because it has nothing to do with immigration.

But, I figured this is the biggest pool to ask for opinions regarding pet insurance.

 

I am trying to see which pet insurance is the best in covering preventative, accidents, out of pocket, etc.  I did a little research and each website gives me something different.  So, I figured I would ask in case some of you have first-hand experience.

 

Mainly, I just want something that will get my dog covered.  I don't mind waiting a couple of months or any waiting period before I can take him in.  I just want to make sure I get one and pay for it so I can take him for his routine.  I am just tired of paying $300-$400 at once when I take him to the yearly visits.  I'd rather have something I pay monthly and will cover the yearly trip and any accidental or unforeseen events.

 

Thanks!

The insurance companies will promise you the world, but when it comes down to it, it's usually "We won't/don't/can't cover that."  I suggest calling veterinarians' offices and asking which they recommend (and whether they have a conflict of interest in making the recommendation).

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

We have Fetch pet. I haven't used it yet. We may be using it soon though. My dog has two back legs that look weird. Possible Pes Varus. I'm told this one will pay for this surgery. We got this insurance because dachsunds are prone to a few different things like back and leg issues. Now I just need to get him in and get that referral to see what's up.

Thank you!  I have no idea why this did not notify me of responses.

That's what I figured as well.  Like it sounds too good to be true.
