		<description>&quot;3) Yes – a claim was filed for my dog Brad Pit with Petplan a couple of weeks ago. In progress…will post result here.&quot;

Results?
How long did it take for them to pay the claim?
Did they make multiple requests for more information?
Did they require two years history?

Thanks</description>

		<description>Do any of the polices offer a &quot;family&quot; type plan? We have 4 dogs and 2 cats, and 6 individual policies are prohibitively expensive. I spent 37 years in human insurance of various kinds &amp; understand the policies pretty well. 

As to restrictions, you have to remember these companies are in business to make money, not to cover everything that might ever happen to your pet.</description>

		<description>Thank you so much for your study of pet health insurance.  I have two dogs and one cat.  

My question is about the cat??  She is 11 years old....no health conditions that I know of......should I insure her too?  She has been a total indoor cat her whole life!

Thanks again for all of your information on this topic!</description>

		<description>Hi Linda,

It is common practice to exclude all pre-existing conditions.  We are not aware of any company that would extend this type of coverage.  But keep asking - that could change in the future - but I believe the cost for such a policy would be prohibitive.  Another reason to buy insurance BEFORE you need it!</description>

		<description>Hi Julie,

The amount of the multiple pet discount varies between 5 – 10% and applies to additional pets only.  Check to see what is offered as you compare companies. I see the discount as a plus but there are more important factors to consider before you decide - such as per incident limits and chronic conditions being treated as pre-existing when the policy renews – Ugh</description>

		<description>We checked with the 3 companies reviewed and please do the same before you buy any policy!

1) Yes - hunting dogs are covered for the injuries you mention.  However, no coverage for gunshots (your dog is accidentally shot) during a hunt :-( 

2) Yes - discounts (5-10%) are offered for each additional pet after your first pet is insured. 

3) Yes - a claim was filed for my dog Brad Pit with Petplan a couple of weeks ago.  In progress...will post result here.

4) Companies that offer coverage for hereditary conditions (genetic) would cover treatment for demodex mange mites as long as it was NOT noted on the medical records prior to your application for insurance.   This is why it is so important to enroll your puppy or kitten (or any new pet) as soon as you adopt – BEFORE any illness can be detected!</description>
