Hi,
My dog has just been taken into the vets as we suspected that she got a box of paracetamol out of a handbag and may have eaten 3. I thought it best to be safe than sorry, they want to put her on a drip and give her some medicine for her liver etc and keep her in for 2 nights.
They reckon that the total will come to approx £250-£300, But I dont know if my insurance will cover this. I am covered with More Than for vets fees up to £7000, But there are so many catches they have i dont know if they will pay out.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am just asking for some help, I dont find the jokes amusing when my dog is at the vets now on a drip and recieving treatment. There is no need for sarcastic comments. I really would appreciate the help from understanding people.

i can't read your insurance policy from here. and if you don't understand your policy, your insurance agent will be quick to tell you "no, it's not covered."

well most states where you live might be allow the sugery doctors or the veterinary clinic place will help the owners to pay half the money but not many veterinaries will not take any insurance if its covered already . i would just call or even check see if youre insurance looks okay if not then i dont know what you can do after if you dont have any extras money to paid youre dog veterinary bill then i think you stuck with it .. or you can ask youre families members if they can layed you some money then whenever you have the time or even get paid again then you can pa the people you borrow from .

This is certainly no joke.
I would imagine your insurance would cover the costs less the excess.
Give them a call and try not to worry about it. Your dogs health is more important and if the worst came to the worst and you were not covered, I am sure your vet would come to some agreement about paying in instalments.
I don't think anyone would joke about your situation. Take care.

I cant say for sure if it would be covered in the UK, but in the US most of the insurances (beyond just the basic vaccine package) will cover toxicological emergency. Just make sure it is stated in the medical records that this was the reason for treatment. Great job on acting so fast, Tylenol (paracetamol or acetminophen) can be very dangerousGood luck

Most insurances cover emergency visits. I would send in the claim just in case. Hope your pup is okay by the end of this.

I'd have thought so, but check your policy. Carefully. Take your time.
Like Tammy D says, if you ask the insurers for the money, seeming unsure, they might not pay out.
