Know a lot of people on this board are pet lovers. Just wanted to share the fact that I discovered a wonderful company a few years back called "Veterinary Pet Insurance" their web site is www.petinsurance.com and their number is 1-800-USA-PETS. This is a "for real" insurance company that offers both "routine care coverage" as well as "major medical". The cost is very affordable and the claims are settled quickly and efficiently.
Lat year I had a 16 year old cat that developed cancer. Major medical(depending on animal's age) runs about 23.00-30.00 per month.
