What should I think about when searching for pet insurance? I need coverage for my dog who has a pre-existing heart condition that can’t be cured. I’ve been trying to find insurance, but everything says no to pre-existing conditions. The vet bills are getting crazy. Does anyone have any tips
Unfortunately, there aren’t any pet insurance companies that will cover that condition. I heard AKC has a new plan that starts covering pre-existing conditions after a year of being enrolled
I’ll definitely check that out. I’m new to the pet insurance scene and haven’t had a dog in years. I really don’t remember it being this pricey. I just paid $1,000 for some x-rays and meds after he swallowed a bone fragment. With his heart issue, I want to be prepared so I’m not hit with huge bills again
I just spent $11,000 on imaging
What? I need to hear more about that
No insurance can cover pre-existing conditions, but I’ve heard of PetAssure. They have a discount plan that gives you 25% off in-house medical services at vets in their network. It might not be a lot, but hopefully it helps
Every little bit helps, thanks a lot. He’s my buddy and I’d do anything for him. I just want to make sure we can both stay afloat

AKC might be a good option unless your dog is over 8 years old. After that age, they only offer accident coverage, but as mentioned, they cover pre-existing conditions after a year
He’s just over 16 months old. I’ve had him since the rescue said he was unadoptable. I started fostering him, but when they said he couldn’t be adopted, I decided to keep him
