PET INSURANCE?!?!?!? There are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of starving PEOPLE around the world and people actually buy insurance to offset the potential cost of expensive surgury?! It is a frikkin cat/dag - why not put it down when it is that sick? Putting it down has to be less of a crime against your humanity/god then spending that much on a pet instead of a starving child?!

You know, I'm sure I'm guilty of this myself but what made you feel that you had to post this? The original poster, whether you agree with the premise or not, is asking for peoples' experiences relating to the ins and outs of pet insurance, not a diatribe about whether it is worthwhile or not to someone who obviously doesn't understand the motivations in getting it. Why post what you did? It's not constructive in any way, not to mention the very real possibility that the person you are berating donates money yearly to what you would consider 'more worthwhile' pursuits, but also is looking into this product.
Why don't you rail against french fries? Starbucks? Do you have any hobbies? That's pretty damned frivolous, if you ask me: you should be damned thankful to live in Canada and have such a relatively fun life compared to the starving children around the world. Every spare cent you have should go directly to these children; nay, you should devote your entire life to their service. Good grief ... let those without fault cast the first stone. Get over yourself. (No offense, right, you can append that to any statement and its OK to say it because you didn't mean any offense, rah, rah)
To the OP, lest my post be completely off-topic: my wife and I did indeed choose to purchase pet insurance for our two cats (boo, hiss, what a terrible person I am, time to re-evaluate my life) when we brought them home from the SPCA, through a carrier that they suggested. If you would like, PM me and I will give you further details.
