if terms like,
jumping,
running, slipping, tripping or playing sprang to mind you would have serious problems if you claim for an injury on your pet insurance, but when
Jamie filed a claim to get reimbursed 80 per cent of her $4,200 vet costs, one
of Canada's largest pet health insurance provider denied her claim, the company
pointed to a clause in her policy denying coverage if a dog is injured while
"jumping, running, slipping, tripping or playing." Jamie commented ‘It
takes away from him being a dog, I think it defeats the principle of pet
insurance.' however, the company have now reviewed the file and has agreed
to pay Jamie’s claim, in a letter sent to Jamie, the company says it decided to
provide compensation because "Muddy has been a part of the family for a
long time." a Vancouver lawyer who specialises in animal rights law says
Jamie's policy has "one of the craziest clauses" she's ever come
across, so for pet owners in Canada, and I guess elsewhere for that matter read
the fine print!
