Pet Insurance is like any insurance. Make sure you know what you are buying. I think overall they are a good value. Like other insurances, they just don't seem to cover enough, but I think they do help. There are many companies. Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI) is one of the oldest and most popular companies. They are based in Brea, CA and as such have to meet CA's standards for insurance companies (whether that's good or bad??). They are partially owned by Iams/Eukanuba.

Veterinary insurance is a little different than human insurance. Most hospitals still charge you directly but help with the paperwork that you submit for reimbursement. Hope that helps.
Chino Hills by name didn't exist back in my day but I know exactly where you're at....I grew up on the fairways of Western Hills Country Club in Chino (Carbon Canyon) back when there wasn't a house for miles in any direction! I assume the golf course is still there? Back then it was a private course but it seemed to me that I heard it was going public or something. I can only imagine that if it's there still, it's got lots of houses around it!

My brother held a spot at a duck club close by too, down behind Prado Dam next to Raahauge's facility which I'm sure is still there. Most of my kin are still down in that part of the world but I try to avoid that trip down there whenever possible!
