Agree, much cheaper when pet is young. After much research we choose Trupanion. You can chose a monthly premium that increases as the “per event” deductible decreases. Premiums on a sliding scale based on deductible between $0 and $1,000 per event. Premiums also based on age and breed. Deductible is not annual, but per event, with a 10% co-pay after the deductible is met. They check all veterinarians records before writing policy to rule out pre-existing conditions and have a one month hold period after signing up to rule out people trying to sneak in pets with pre-existing conditions. Only covers health events, not wellness care or prescriptions. Most veterinarians accept it and they bill the veterinarian office directly for their portion of the bill. Hope that helps.
