Thinking about pet insurance? Read the following:

8yr shepherd mix, Roxie, was brought in to us when her owners noticed she had a reduced appetite for the past few days and was now vomiting.

Blood work showed that Roxie had significant loss of her kidney function and would need intensive clinical care.

The good news: Roxie's owners had pet insurance and they did not hesitate to do everything they could for her.

For the next 14 days, Roxie was hospitalized with us to receive IV fluids, IV medications, multiple repeat blood work to monitor her kidney values and electrolytes, feeding tube (because she would not eat on her own) as well as in-house ultrasound & CT scans in an attempt to figure out what had caused the kidneys to be affected so quickly and substantially.

Although the cause of the kidney injury was never determined, with the tireless efforts made by our amazing vet & tech team Roxie made a full recovery and only needed a few follow up blood work appointments to check in on her kidney function. We received an updated photo just yesterday (bottom right) of her relaxing on her family's front porch 🐾💙

Pet insurance covered over $15,000 of Roxie's care, treatment & follow up (90% of eligible expenses).

Our team would be happy to chat about pet insurance options and plans should anyone have any questions :)

Have you heard?

Starting on August 1, all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be:
• healthy upon arrival
• at least 6 months of age
• microchipped
• accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents.

Additional requirements may apply depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States.

Use CDC’s Q&A tool (the CDC “DogBot”) to determine what rules apply to your dog: https://bit.ly/2rww2bq
