I was looking into pet insurance for my puppy that comes with preventative care as well as accidental and illness coverage. I looked into Trupanion and PetsBest but neither cover preventative issues such as shots and etc. I’ve heard time and time before it’s better to put the money in a savings account and using it if it’s need but I’ve had some bad luck with high veterinary bills which insurance definitely would of helped with. I was wondering if PurinaCare was trust able and if anybody has any experience about them?
My experience has been that none of the pet insurance companies are very helpful in reducing vet bills. it does seem better to have a small amount taken from your paycheck every pay period and put into a vet account. most of the pet insurance seems to be the same rate you would get if you called and asked the vet if he’d consider lowering the price for whatever procedure your pet needed.

prices vary wildly. for example, there are four vets in my city. one charges $40 for a rabies shot +$40 for an office visit. another charges $5 (total) to give the rabies shot.
