This is from Kirstin, the Mom to Poochie, who was a Cat of the Month on CAT CHAT®. Turns out she taught me something I didn’t know about Pets Best Insurance — so now even more oldsters can get on board! Thanks Kirstin!
Dear Tracie,
I loved the show on Wednesday (as always!), but just wanted to let you know that Pet’s Best DOES seem to cover cats (and dogs) of any age, according to their website (you mentioned on your show that 12 was the cutoff for cats). Perhaps they used to have a cutoff, but it seems that now they don’t, thankfully! And thank YOU for directing me to Pet’s Best!This was under their FAQs in response to a question as to how old is too old to insure a pet:
You may enroll your dog or cat as early as 7 weeks of age. Like children, young dogs and cats have the highest risk of accidents. Since their immune systems aren’t mature they are more susceptible to infectious diseases. Unlike other companies we don’t have an upper age cutoff. As they grow older, our pets face the same risk of cancer, heart disease, kidney failure, and other problems of aging that we all do. An older pet may develop chronic disorders that require a lifetime of care and expense.
Oh, and i got THE CAT BIBLE and LOVE it!!! I can’t put it down…
Take care (and meows from the cats),
