Within the past 3 years, we put down two of our dogs. Towards the end of their lives, they both had various ailments that pushed their vet bills into the thousands. We decided that if we got another dog, we'd explore getting pet insurance to help offset some of the costs. Long story short, we signed up for Nationwide Pet Insurance about a month after getting our pup back in 2016. You gotta figure that with a young dog, you probably won't have any major medical problems. Well, here we are dealing with our dog recovering from pneumonia (didn't know dogs could get that...but he picked it at doggy daycare about a month ago) and he was close to dying. Bills have approached 5k, but with Nationwide, we get 90% back on everything once we hit the $250 deductible. I mean, we would have paid regardless to have him treated even without the PI, but it helps immensely knowing that you're getting a good chunk of your payment back in your bank account.
Like anything, it's a gamble and it's truly case by case...you might get lucky and not have to use it, but I think it's good to have.
Anyone else have PI?
