Over a barrel!!!

[debih]

I've received the pet insurance renewal through this morning.

It has gone up from £9 a month to £29 a month.

I've just rung them and it is right - it's gone up because of the accident.

I was expecting it to but am shocked as to how much.

But I have to keep it as she won't be covered for existing problems by any other insurer. I've checked that it's worth keeping though - we still have up to £1800 left for the stricture and £2600 for the leg should any problems crop up that are as a direct result from the accident.

They've got me over a barrel really!!

Wow!! That is one heck of in increase.

they really do have you (and others) over a barrel - but I still think they are worth every penny you pay.

If you think about it Milly's insurance is now an annual premium of £348 which is way less than any operation would potentially cost you....



As a total by the by - When Jamie was 1; she was hit by a car and the resulting treatments cost me (or rather the insurance) just on £2500.... Now, 6 years on her insurance premiums now are £19 a month so even with that increase I still am better off with the insurance than I'd have been without - 10 years of insurance premiums would cost £2,280 - and I claimed more than than in her first year

That is a massive increase but Ria is right xxx

Mia's went up from £15 to £25. Her monthly tablets only cost me £23 but she has blood tests every 3 months and now her larynx has started playing up, it makes it worth it

Oh it's definitely worth it.

They paid out around £4300 for Millie with her accident.

Wow - imagine having to find that amount of money xxxx

We wouldn't have.

She wouldn't be with us now if it wasn't for the insurance. Which is why I'll carry on paying it.

Same with my Jamie
