Hambone Awards – Examples of Why Pet Insurance Is a Good Idea!
Jean Pierre — November 2008
Val Heart recomends pet insurance!
Initially, veterinarians thought the lump on French bulldog Jean Pierre’s side was a bee sting or, worse, a cancerous growth.
But as the lump got bigger over several months, owner Denise Uphus agreed to surgery that showed the lump was the result of a corndog stick.
The stick had gone through Jean Pierre’s stomach lining and was putting pressure on his body cavity.
Uphus was baffled until she recalled that her daughter had fed Jean Pierre part of her corndog one day and that Jean Pierre may have chewed up some of the stick.
“You really can’t turn your back on them,” Uphus told VPI. “Kids or pets.”
Lulu — December 2008
After noticing several of her daughters pacifiers had gone missing, Jennifer Zwart found that her English bulldog Lulu had a private stash — in her stomach.
Zwart told VPI she noticed Lulu liked eating pacifiers after catching her eat one when it fell to the floor. Concerned, she took Lulu to the veterinarian where 15 pacifiers, a bottle cap and a piece of a basketball were removed from Lulu’s stomach.
Save thousands on pet care, get pet insurance today.
“We were all shocked, especially since Lulu never had any symptoms and I had no idea all of those pacifiers had gone missing,” Zwart said to VPI.
Lulu may have binged on her rubbery treats, but her behavior is common for dogs.
“This is really a typical thing dogs do,” Gross said. “With something you like, you eat as many of those as you can find around the house.”
Just for reasons such as these I have pet insurance through www.quickcarepetinsurance.com.. My mom has health insurance, why wouldn’t I?
