    That $550 will cover two vet visits if you’re lucky

    Still better than pet insurance though, which is a scam (I mean all insurance is but especially pet insurance)

      Pet insurance is a good thing for people with a large number of animals - particularly rescue animal boarding.

      For most people though, no.

      I don’t know about that. Both of my cats would be dead if not for pet insurance. One needed a $10k surgery this summer that I was able to afford because of my pet insurance. The other had $4k of surgeries the year before. Both instances my insurance covered 70%. Neither of my cats are much more than 5 years old, just bad luck with their health.
