We pay 100% of payable claims.

With the PetCare Pet Insurance Programs, you can use the registered liscensed veterinarian of your choice.

To keep your policy in force, take your veterinarian's advice.
We ask you to have your pet examined annually by your veterinarian and keep current with the vaccinations he/she recommends. It's a good way to keep your pet healthy, and it's also a condition of your continued PetCare Pet Insurance Program coverage.

Thanks for the info man. I've had a few of my pets in the vet's office the past couple of weeks and it's cost me a small fortune. One of my cousins mentioned yesterday that he had pet health insurance and doing so searching on the topic was on my list of things to do today.

Thanks for helping me notch one more thing of my list. :thumbsup

alot of company's starting to offer that..bet its much more profitable than people insurance

Never thought about get health insurance for my dog until it cost me $2,000 for one day at the emergency clinic

a lot of smart people will tell you to invest in pet insurance stocks. it's a huge marketplace that is going to be tapped in the next few years.

no, its too late, one of my dogs is 6 and had a $3500 back surgery and the other was almost 1 and he was run over last month :(

candyflip, im sorry to hear about your pets being ill. There are a few other pet health insurance companies out there who are good I am sure, but I would never give my money to anyone but sheltercare. The work they do with shelters is amazing. They give 2 free months of coverage to all the pets we adopt at our local shelter. Trust me, this has saved the lives of more than a few of our adoptees! They also give us $25 donation each adoptee we refer that signs up for continuing service. Simply put, ShelterCare is wonderful.

please point out some stock symbols

Just a little bit of cancer in one and a small tumor in the other. They're both ferrets and because they're so small they have to see a specialist. Both are back to normal, it's just my wallet that took the hit. It's worth it though...they make me smile on more than one occasion each day.

I just filled signed my kitty up for a ShelterCare plan. I don't see anything saying that they'll cover my little weasels, but I'm sure that there's someone who will.

Thanks again!

I'm picking up my pup in two weeks.

What's the cost on something like this?

Varies depending on a few different things, much like regular insurance. My cat is an indoor cat, so his plan is cheaper than if he was an outdoor cat. Yada, yada, yada.

Check out all the available plans here. Some plans start as low as $10 a month. You give them some info and they give you a quote, just like buying 2-legged people's insurance.
