I've been following what's been going on with Belphie the kitten and his person, Greer Stothers, has just mentioned pet insurance in a tag on a post and I wanted to give an example from my life backing up why pet insurance can be a good idea and why I think it is worthwhile.
Two years ago my sister's dog had bloat while she was on vacation. The kennel he was staying at recognized symptoms and called my sister to clear them to take him to the emergency vet. My sister is very financially secure and this dog is an enormous part of her life, so she said yes with barely a moment of hesitation. That ended up being about twelve thousand dollars of emergency surgery.
Large Bastard and I got pet insurance for Tiny Bastard the same week because we realized that if someone had presented that option to us, we would have had no choice but to have Tiny Bastard put down, and we didn't want to be put in that position.
I did a lot of research about different kinds of pet insurance and different levels of coverage and annual maximums and deductibles and so on and so forth. Tiny Bastard is a senior dog, so this was going to be expensive no matter what options we went with, so I chose a moderately priced plan with a $500 annual deductible, unlimited annual coverage, that pays 80% of the bills incurred annually below the maximum. What that means is that we pay the first $500 of care totally out of pocket, after which point we are reimbursed 80% of any vet bills for care covered by the plan.
The first year we had this plan I was kind of iffy about it. It's a noticeable monthly expense and we didn't even spend the deductible in vet bills the first year. Except that a month before the policy was set to renew, Tiny Bastard got diagnosed with diabetes. We now have monthly insulin costs and syringe costs; there are tests she has to have regularly to monitor her overall condition and we need to do more frequent vet visits to track symptoms.
Suddenly the insulin alone means that the insurance is break-even within six months and the additional visits and tests are something we can afford instead of something we'd have to put on credit.
Our plan (through ManyPets) covers medication, surgery, diagnostics, medical equipment, and euthanasia and cremation. It doesn't cover pre-existing conditions, joint conditions for dogs who were signed up over a certain age, dental care, spay/neuter, vaccinations, or prescription food but honestly all of that makes me just kind of wish we'd signed her up earlier - her knee problems *would* be covered if we'd had her signed up as a puppy, and the monthly cost would have been lower if we'd signed her up then. And there are at least a few emergency vet bills that I wouldn't still be paying off on my credit card. Hell, I've probably paid more in interest on some bruising she got in a fight three years ago than I have for this policy as a whole.
I am glad that Greer is able to take care of Belphie. I am glad that my sister was able to take care of her dog. But I'm also really, really glad that for a relatively low cost, I would be able to take care of Tiny Bastard if she were catastrophically injured, or if she needed emergency surgery. I'm glad that I'm able to take care of her now with her medications and her additional vet visits.
There are a lot of people who say that pet insurance isn't worth it, especially not for young animals. But if your young animal gets very sick, or gets badly injured, or eats a hairband and needs an emergency endoscopy, then it will probably be VERY worth it. It's a risk/reward question. You feel like you're wasting money if you're paying for a policy that you never use, but honestly that just means you're lucky to have a healthy pet.
I'm lucky that Tiny Bastard was relatively healthy before I got the insurance; I'm also lucky that she was insured when she was diagnosed with a chronic illness that will need lifelong care. This enables me to provide care for her that would otherwise be financially unmanageable, and that makes the insurance *extremely worth it* from my perspective.
And Belphie is a good example of why it's a good idea to get coverage even for very young pets. Greer is recommending it because this kitten has required a tremendous amount of care during a period in his life when it's generally taken for granted that a cat will be healthy. (And Greer is not stupid for forgoing pet insurance - pet insurance is still a relatively new concept and there are lots of people who are leery of it for a number of good reasons)
So I'd say that if you've got a pet or are getting a pet it is very worthwhile to find a pet insurance plan that fits in your budget. There are a variety of plans out there and some are very inexpensive. Check coverage levels (you can even get some with wellness plans that include dental care and vaccinations) and see if there's something that works for you.
I personally don't think I'm ever going to own another pet without having pet insurance. It's ridiculous how much easier it is for me to say yes to diagnostic tests or different treatments than it was before because I know I'm going to be able to fit Tiny Bastard's care into our budget.

Minnesota regulation requires canine and cats to have entry to good diet and clear ingesting water, sufficient house to comfortably transfer round, clear dwelling situations, the chance to train and protected temperatures.

please help me save my senior cat
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is my 13 year old kitty, mimi.
she was recently diagnosed with feline triaditis, a concurrent inflammation of the pancreas, liver and gall bladder. for the last couple weeks she's been in and out of inpatient treatment.
after being discharged last friday, her condition quickly worsened and she developed hepatic lipidosis. she had to have a feeding tube inserted into her esophagus, which allows me to feed and medicate her with minimal stress at home. this surgery was pretty much our last resort as she will not get better unless she has enough nourishment.
i managed to afford her treatment so far, but she'll still need some expensive medication and food for the next week or two, depending on how fast she starts eating an adequate amount on her own. she'll also have another surgery to remove her feeding tube in a month and some more bloodwork done. this will amount to at least $300, which is more than i can manage alone. i really didn't want to have to do this, but ive spent my savings on her treatment as there is no pet insurance coverage in my area.
please donate or share if you can. any help would be greatly appreciated and a little goes a long way since one dollar equates to almost R$6 in Brazil.
ko-fi
dm me for my p/ypal

I am not sure if a post on here will gain any traction as it has been a long while since Iā€™ve posted.
My partner and I have rescued a kitten, and after taking it to the vet for a sick exam, it was discovered that little Melvin has a grade 5 heart murmur. We were told on multiple instances by Trupanion pet insurance that the initial vet appointment would be covered as well as Melvinā€™s heart murmur and that his condition was not considered pre-existing. Unfortunately they completely flipped on that and they are now telling us that we are no longer eligible for coverage for this specific condition. My partner and I now ask for financial help for Melvinā€™s cardiologist appointment and subsequent treatment.
Tumblr media
Anything at all helps, even sharing this post on here or bringing a link to this fundraiser on other platforms. Without help this would be a substantial blow to our savings.
My partner and I are incredibly grateful for every donation that has come in so far.
Thank you again, from us and from little Melvin.

Sighā€¦
Mandana just had incontinence after increased activity. We had someone come over to help us catch up on chores so I had Mandana on her treadmill and outside playing for longer than usual. I thought it would be fine bc both the Neurologist and Orthopedic Surgeon said she was ok but when she came in afterwards to take a nap she peed on herself.
This is the same issue we were having when she was really sick and the back pain had just started. It could be a sign that this is neurological afterall so now I have a really tough decision to make.
1. Reschedule the MRI so we can diagnose any neurological problems which may or may not have a treatment but in doing so risk our pet insurance deciding not to cover back related stuff for the rest of her life (which is a HUGE problem)
2. Donā€™t do the MRI. Continue with Librela & supportive therapies in hope that treating her pain will help prevent more incontinence flares. (Proin stopped the incontinence but it gave her high blood pressure so she canā€™t be on it)
I feel like a bad dog mom bc I donā€™t know what to do. My typical approach is ā€œdo all the treatments and testing availableā€ but in doing so I could jeapordize our access to the treatments that are actually helping her (mainly Librela which is like $200/mo for the appointment + injection and my pet insurance is currently covering it but if sheā€™s diagnosed with a disc related injury they could deny coverage)

motorcycle pet peeve
everytime there is a video about the 125cc 15hp motorcycles
there are several buffoons in the comments going on about how "the prices are so high!!11!" "who would buy a 125cc in those prices" "it's for the 16 year olds" "you need a REAL motorcycle"
for starters, these specs are specific to EU license A1, the only license a 16 year old can get, but also for B license owners if they take the necessary by law lessons, without exams.
why the 125cc though if you are not 16
here's the main reasons:
excellent for commute
light weight
fuel efficient (very low cost)
maintenance low cost
low insurance cost (mine is ~150 euros/year the full package that includes roadside assistance, and lawyer coverage in the case of an accident)
more eco friendly that anything bigger.
yes the big brands like the 4 big japanese, and the several european ones cost a lot to buy new (4000~5000 euros) but you know that they will not break down in the middle of the road.
also they are safer from the cheaper, underbone, supercub style mopeds, for the simple fact that they are bigger in size, and they are regulated to have ABS brakes
I bought my underbone for 1800 euros new, and because they dont have ABS there was no way to stop in time during my accident. If I had my current motorcycle(4500euros new) then, I would have been able to at the very least minimize the damage I suffered, because of ABS and because of it's bigger size.
125cc's are not for those who want to speed, while they have a decent speed, it's a speed for commute, not for racing.
125cc 15hp bracket was specifically made so youngsters do not speed and lose their lives. but the 125cc are a choice by oldies like me, who want to commute on the cheap.

okay
do I pay the insane costs for Sabine's dental procedure now
or do I play silly pet insurance games by waiting a year after her dental cleaning so it no longer qualifies as a pre-existing condition

Pet Insurance
I thought I'd pretty much chosen pet insurance for the puppy, but now I'm not so sure. Is Trupanion still considered like "the best"? I'm not that concerned with the insurance paying my vet directly, and that seems to be what most people like about Trupanion. But I can wait for payout after the fact. I DO want coverage for physio and hydrotherapy and stuff like that, and it doesn't appear that Trupanion covers that.
I am looking at Furkin right now. Though I am skeptical that it's too good to be true, as it appears to cover everything I want and is significantly cheaper? It only covers $20k a year, but that is ... A lot. I don't think Haley has even hit the $20k mark over the last few years with all of her bloodwork, joint taps, meds, and physio. I don't actually expect this dog to have tons of issues. But I do want to be able to afford expensive procedures if necessary.
Anyway, what do y'all use these days?

šŸ‘» Halloween šŸŽƒ
Company A responded to me two weeks ago that they were still figuring the supervisor position out. I give up at this point. The hiring date is in two weeks, I passed up a couple pet sits in hopes of getting it. The last message was that they were doing in person Interviews, but no word on what round they were on or word on the last candidate they wanted.
I have gone full force into pet sitting and doing what I can to market myself. Iā€™m waiting on my business cards to hand out on walks, made flyers to hang up, and have been posting on social media.
Iā€™m on pet sit #3 and have three more booked. I will be raising my rates in the new year as Iā€™ll have some solid reviews at that point.
M and I discussed it and if business picks up enough, I will be going back to school in April and keeping the pet sitting only. His job is covering all our bills, so my income would be for savings. Itā€™s going to significantly delay moving out, but after discussing it with the roommates, they are supportive and not in a rush (seriously so thankful for them).
I was offered some more 1099 jobs (but honestly, if im gonna do a 1099, Rover is much better bang for my buck) and offered a really bad job for really awful pay. They did a mean switcheroo when I got there and had me interview for a totally different position that needed to be filled asap.
Social work in Florida is frustrating. Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s like this everywhere now or just here. So many case management jobs have moved to independent contractor work. Personal vehicle usage, no mileage reimbursement, putting clients in your car and more expensive insurance coverage.
I honestly donā€™t know why I didnā€™t get some of the other jobs I interviewed for, but I think itā€™s because Iā€™m new to the area and theyā€™re worried I donā€™t know the resources. (They asked very specific questions about this).
Anyway. Hereā€™s some photos.
