True Tails from Canadian Pet Parents

Pita Bred: "After my border collie, Pita, got her leg scraped up during flyball, I bought pet insurance. For months, all was well until she started vomiting and wasn’t her usual self! An x-ray revealed a blockage requiring immediate surgery—her operation and hospital stay cost $1,350. After my vet sent in the Petsecure pet insurance claim forms, we received reimbursement from Petsecure two weeks later. Pita and I missed the first two flyball tournaments, but she’s doing well and is now ready to race!" - Andrea Mason, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada  READ FULL STORY

Cat Comfort: "Since adopting Wookie and Daisy 12 years ago, I have spent thousands on vet bills. We will face even more challenges as they age, and it is essential they now have pet insurance. It is HUGE peace of mind - I no longer frantically scrounge an extra dollar! My girls have had teeth cleaned, cavities pulled, and ultrasounds performed. They’ve seen dermatologists, bone specialists, and behavioural therapists. No doubt, all of these medical advances had added to their quality and length of life." – Lesley Fox, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada  READ FULL STORY

Apollo Landing: "A few days after getting my pug, Apollo, I looked into pet insurance. If anything happened, at least I would be covered. Six months later, he showed signs of limping on his right leg and was diagnosed with necrosis of the femoral head. A specialist would have to perform extensive surgery on Apollo’s hip. I was astonished at the cost, but Petsecure pet insurance covered the medications, pre- and post-surgery! Apollo is now 20 months old and is FULLY recovered, running at 100%." – Peter Dimitropoulo, Montreal, Quebec, Canada  READ FULL STORY

Big Kitty Kitty: "Our 13-year-old Maine Coon, Bailey, has always been a big cat. But after noticing a considerable amount of weight loss and constant eating, he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Radioiodine therapy (a single injection of radioactive iodine) was advised as a better alternative to daily medication or surgery. Petsecure pet insurance gave us the peace of mind to be able to provide our pet with the best possible treatment. We are so thankful that he doesn’t require daily medication for the rest of his life!" – Peggy Philion, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Mighty Bitey: "When we got our puppy, Bitey, we were overjoyed! Two days later she was hospitalized due to infection, severe worms, and a case of parvovirus that nearly killed her. The vet bill was in the thousands. Immediately after, we bought pet insurance. A few months later, she developed an eye condition that needed corrective surgery. Even with this new expense, I was relieved because we had Petsecure. I could focus on my puppy’s well being. The financial weight off our shoulders was immense." – Megan Wahl, Toronto, Ontario, Canada  READ FULL STORY
