[nagdu] Vet costs

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Bernadetta,

Welcome.  I am sorry to hear about Kip's illness and hope his treatment goes
well.

We did look into the VIP insurance for our dogs, especially Mitzi, my poodle
guide.  We decided not to purchase it, though we review such things about
once a year and may do so in 2011.  It did look the best, but expensive for
the top plan.

Good tho know it is working well for someone, though.

Hi Tracy,  and everyone else

First of all, my name is Bernadetta, and I am new to the list, so I 
thought I'd introduce myself before I contribute to any of the threads. 
I'm from Massachusetts, and my pup is from the Seeing Eye. His name is Kipp.
Tracy, unfortunately, that sort of price is a standard for vets, but I 
do have pet insurance for Kipp. I use VIP pet insurance. They are 
actually pretty decent; They cover  about two thirds of the vet costs. 
Their anual deductables are pretty high though, if I recall correctly, 
the fee is somewhere around four or five hundred dollars. But I have 
Kipp on one of the highest plans, so maybe the deductable is lower for 
other plans through VIP. My plan covers serious illness such as cancer 
and emergency services, as well as all the routine stuff,  which, it 
turns out, is very fortunate since I just found out my boy has cancer. 
He was diagnosed with  fibro sarcoma just last week. His biopsy cost 
around three thousand dollars, and VIP returned twenty-two hundred of 
that to me.
Their worth looking into in my oppinion.
All Best,

Bernadetta
