Hi there, its such a shame you are in the predicament you are in, poor baby!! Can you share why your dog isnt covered, is it a blanket policy on all cruciate surgery? I'm with them, currently and about to decide whether to re-new or not?? All the best with our fundraising. Karlos

Hi Karl,

At the time of taking out the insurance when Tonka was a puppy, we took out the Gold plan which allows upto $6000 for injury/illness surgery. I'm not going to lie, part of this is my fault for not understanding what a cruciate was I just assumed any injury would be covered under the injury part of the plan. The cruciate is only covered up to $700 with the Gold plan but it was the most comprehensive insurance we could afford for everything else.

For Rottweiler owners, I now know that the cover best for us would be the cheaper Rhodium plan...I wish someone had explained that to us when we signed up. Hopefully that's the cover you have!
