I went with Embrace. I purchased Chester's plan yesterday for $26.xx a month. The main draw is they pay for genetic illnesses, which yorkies have plenty of, and they pay a percentage of your claim, not a set amount. My savings will be greater that way. Most insurance companies will only pay a set amount, regardless of how much you pay for treatment for your pet. Embrace will pay a percentage. I chose the plan where they pay 90% and I pay 10% after my deductible.

Please get pet insurance...we had our puppy for less than 3 weeeks and he broke his leg...on a sunday also :) The bill for the er visit, to reset his leg and cast it was $550...and many follow up visits, r meds, additional xrays, and now an infected paw from a result of the break / cast...we are over the $1200 mark.
I can not get him pet insurance now until his paw heals and we have to be very careful so that he doesn't rebreak it...and broken paws are common with both types of breeds that he is (toy italian greyhound / rat terrior)...
My bf and I had to give up our plans of going on vacation to as a result of his medical bills. :(
Yep, been there done that, but we love our pets don't we? The things we do for our "kids" LOL.
Kval, so glad you got pet insurance, believe me it is a cheap investment.
I am just dreading this winter because Bud is getting older and the winters are not too kind in Illinois. I know what I will be doing every morning at 5 AM! Cleaning off the patio and using a pet safe salt to make sure he doesn't slip and fall because if he does, nevermind, I don't want to think about that!
