Sasha's Pet Insurance Testimonial

 
 
Pet Name: Sasha
Treated For: Pinnal mass
Claim Amount: $852.77
Time to Process Claim: 6 days
I want to thank you very much. Sasha is a 2 ½ year old very well taken care of dog. She is extremely fit, not at all overweight, and a treasure in our family. On Wednesday morning as I was brushing her ears, I found the ‘lump’. By Saturday she was in surgery to remove the tumor and now we are waiting for the results to find out what stage of cancer she has. Since her blood tests came back showing that 100% of her blood is clear of cancer, we are very encouraged that there is no sign of cancer in her bloodstream. While all this was occurring my husband was in Jakarta instructing a course. He returned last evening and one of the first things he said was, “Thank goodness we had insurance and did not have to make any choices about Sasha’s situation based on the financial impact”.

So, thank you again. I am sure there will be more charges to come and we’ll be once again thankful that we have such good coverage for our treasure.

Kind regards,
- Marie G.

Neuman's Pet Insurance Testimonial

 
 
Pet Name: Neuman
Treated For: Lumps, Upset Stomach, Tumors
Total Claim Amount: $20,000.00
Time to Process Claim: 3 weeks
Meet Neuman. He's a 12 year old German Short Hair Pointer. Neuman's mom recently spent over $20,000 on him in vet bills. No, she didn't re mortgage her house, win the lottery, or sell her left kidney, nor is she a distant relative of some rich recluse who has agreed to pay her vet bills. She had an insurance policy on Neuman." What on earth could have possibly cost $20,000? Well, it all started May of '05, Neuman had a sub cutaneous lump removed. (A lump under the skin) Then, in September 2005 Neuman had a cyst on his eye, and in September and October of 2005, his mom made several other claims relating to said cyst. For the remainder of 2005, and into mid 2006, Neuman continued to have lumpectomy procedures. But, in late 2006, he was discovered to have a mast cell tumour. It was removed, to the tune of $2432.44, for the initial surgery, plus another several hundred dollars in follow up exams. After that, Neuman lost a toe to a soft tissue sarcoma (another type of cancer) Then came the ultrasounds to rule out metastasis (spread of cancer) and to test for Cushings (it was negative for Cushings). The gastrointestinal upset, the mass on the tail, the weakness, the abdominal discomfort, and hemoconcentration (when there is a decrease in the fluid portion of the blood) a foreign body in the ear canal, and a nose bleed. All in all, Neuman is a lucky canine companion. He has a parent who can provide him with the care and comfort that a geriatric dog needs. Plus lots of kisses and cuddles.
