My GSD turned 6 on 12/10.
I signed him up with Petplan when he was 4 at $32.52 a month.
At 5 it went up to $37.54 a month.
Now I've been informed that for this year, the rate will be $44.65 a month.
Trending that out until he's 11, I'll eventually be paying almost $80 a month.
I like Petplan because it's catastrophic coverage only. Most of the other plans charge more for things I don't need, like annual exams, etc. I'd rather pay for those on my own because it's cheaper to self-fund those. But if he comes down with a serious illness, is in an accident, or something, I want coverage.
I'm wondering if these rates are too high or if they're about right for his age. I don't expect to pay puppy rates but the year-over-year increase concerns me.
Thoughts?
