Default Pet Insurance

Hiya, can anyone recommend a good provider of pet (3 dogs) insurance? Or who to avoid?! Is it similar to home where you pay an excess and they will only pay for certain things? Does it depend on where you live too?? I seem to remember that if you lived in a nice area at home they considered you to be rich and so your premiums were more!

I use PetCare Insurance, see url below. They do not cover standard pet routice care (immunisations, etc) since these items are usually within budget and cost is often greater if they are accounted for under a pet insurance program.

The premiums are fair and dependent on dog age, and the scheme you use (emergency only, senior dog, etc). Sign up is simple and you can get a start up quote online.

VPI is also good one and one that vets are very familiar with. Though this does include routine are coverage.

We take our puggie Zuzu to the vet at PetSmart, "Banfield." I guess they are ok, Zuzu has been mostly healthy. The plan that includes spaying/neutering is the one we chose...it was $100 down, and $20 per month for one year. All visits and vaccinations are free. I don't know if that is good or not, I haven't been to any other vets.
