Just got my first ever kitten with a clean bill of health from vet and now I want to get him insured. What is the best pet insurance i can get him? I've heard Trupanion is good.

Ive never gotten pet insurance

I couldn’t fathom spending a shitload of money on an animal really

I mostly do rescues and wild animals personally, I live urban so I don’t get neighbours whining about birds and the occasional mammal in my yard. Then I’ll rescue a kitten or lizard and just feed them and provide a home, if they get sick sick o put them out of their misery there’s no way I’m spending thousands on something that lives a 10th of a human lifespan and don’t even have sentience

>not having insurance
There are plenty of awful insurance products you don't need, but skipping certain kinds of insurance just because they're not required by law, or only getting the minimum required by law can really bite you in the ass. I carry a lot more car insurance than required by law because of how ruinously expensive someone else's medical bills can be if you're at fault in an accident.

OP, I got a dog a couple months ago and decided against pet insurance. The insurance I looked at would have been about $800 a year and only kicked in for big things like hip surgery or cancer. Something like hip surgery isn't cheap and can cost anywhere $2000-6000, but I could pay that out of pocket if I had to. Since my breed has fairly low risks for big problems like that and her parents and grandparents are all healthy dogs I decided it would probably be cheaper to skip pet insurance.

If you don't think you'll be able to afford paying out of pocket for something like a broken bone or surgery for your cat, pet insurance might be a good idea. Before buying any, make sure to carefully look over what it covers, where you can use it (does your vet accept it), and understand what a deductible is.

Make sure there won't be any kind of exclusion for kidney issues or pre-existing conditions if you buy the insurance

I had pet insurance for my last dog, sadly it turned out that they wouldn't cover anything for cancer besides pain meds and euthanasia.
So basically 1200 dollars to cover 400 dollars.

What provider? How old was the dog when you got him insured?

My mother never got insurance for our family cat, and you can't get insurance when a cat is already old. I vowed to get insurance if I ever got a new cat because the bills for treating her illness were racking up hundreds.

Well I ended up with another cat so I had to look into insurance. In Australia a grocery chain offers various kinds of insurance and will reward you with a small discount on shopping.
I just paid $600 for a blood test because she's a stray. Insurance gave me $100. That's better than not getting anything.

yes, get a new kitten and try again

I don't get the purpose of pet insurance. Vet bills are surely less than the insurance. It only makes sense for humans because medical bills can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
