October is Orthopedic Month at Embrace Pet Insurance
By number of claims:
By amount of claims:
The gastro claims includes foreign body ingestion soif you removed those and put them in accidents, orthopedic claims would top the charts for claims by amount.
Thats pretty scary and pretty expensive. The list of orthopedic conditions, many of which are considered hereditary,includes:
- luxating patella
- cruciate ligament ruptures (average claim is just over $2,000, which includes rechecks – surgery is way way more)
- hip dysplasia
- intervertebral disc disease (IVDD)
- degenerative joint disease (DJD)
- plain old limping (undiagnosed claims average $780 per claim)
- and so on
Well be talking more about many of these conditions later on this month. Anything else youd like to talk about too?
