A very lively and long thread on FB discusses the pros and cons of pet insurance. It is revealing no doubt to non-pet owners to see the staggering sums paid for pet insurance and pet care. Some pet owners say it is more affordable to put away $100 a month against a rainy day emergency with a pet. But others insist that paying as much as $245 a month in fees for a 15-year-old dog they can’t bring themselves to put down is worth it. One woman says “I have Trupanion for my two cats. I’ve made two claims and been denied both times. I’m paying $180 per month and wondering often why I’m bothering.” Another says “WOW, these are crazy prices!” Facebook
