I'm finding that several pet insurance companies tweak their policies every year. Some have major changes e.g. changing underwriters and/or offering completely new policies. Therefore, it's necessary to update the books and worksheets that I've written.
I just completed updating Your Guide To Understanding Pet Health Insurance (paperback and Ebook versions) in February, 2011. They have the latest company and policy information. I've added a new chapter as well as fresh advice about several issues that came to my attention since the last update.
The Excel worksheets have also been updated and expanded to reflect all the possible policy combinations for each company. This really comes in handy for those companies that allow you to customize your policy. For example, with Embrace's policies, there are at least 60 different possible policies. I've also written downloadable and printable worksheets (for those that don't have Excel) that pet owners can use during their research of pet insurance companies. These also have formulas that you can use to manually calculate out-of-pocket expenses. Information on downloading these worksheets are included in the book updates.
I have been interviewed by folks writing an article on pet insurance for a newspaper or magazine. I've also done interviews for radio programs. While these mediums can provide an introduction to the topic of pet insurance for pet owners, they do not allow an in-depth discussion and analysis of the complexities of pet insurance. This blog, and especially the book, allows me to do just that.
The Ebook is a little more colorful and contains many live links to useful information to help pet owners in their research of pet insurance.
I want to thank all the readers who have responded via e-mail to the book and especially those who have asked questions. It has lead to some fruitful discussions where it is my hope that the readers have benefited from my advice and input, but I can say with certainty, I have benefited from their observations and experiences when doing the research to find the best company and policy for their pet. Please know that I welcome such interaction.
