CLAIMS STORY: Sara, an 8-year-old Golden Retriever, presented to the ER after ingesting 11 tablets of Carprofen that evening. Carprofen is an anti-inflammatory medication specifically for dogs. Sometimes, manufacturers will make the Carprofen tablets flavored, so it is easier to give the medicine. Unfortunately, some dogs, like Sara, may think they are treats! The dose of Carprofen Sara ingested is potentially toxic to internal organs, so quick action was imperative. Happily, after 3 days of hospitalization, Sara was discharged and is doing well! We were able to cover $1,896.85 out of the incident’s total of $2,369.28! (This example is for illustrative purposes only. This is based on a policy with a $100 deductible and 90% reimbursement. The pet policy issued by Metropolitan General Insurance Company is the governing document with respect to all matters of insurance. The specific facts of each claim must be evaluated in conjunction with the provisions of the applicable Policy to determine coverage in each individual case.)
