- Pet insurance with no Maximum limit. this company offers coverage for both cats and dogs. They offer 2 different plans.
1a) All around protection: accidental injures, illness, emergency care, diagnostics & testing, surgery and more. Plans for dogs $38/mo and cats $28/mo. They pay up to 90% with a $100 deductible (yearly).
What I really like is they offer a Free 24/7 vet chat and cover a few things that some other insurance companies do Not cover like:
- Cancer Treatment
- Overnight Hospital Stays
- Tooth Extractions, Dental Disease & Fractures
- MRI/CT Scans
- Ultrasounds
- Rehabilitative Care
- Office Visits & Exam Fees
- Euthanasia & Cremation
1b) Routine Care: covers standard things like Wellness exams, vaccinations, testing & parasite prevention. I did notice that It has NO WATING period and PREEXISTING CONDITIONS are not an issue.
Each plan option has a sample policy showing what the policy would look like and cover.
TIPS: During a seminar I listen to about insurance the host gave these tips. 1) Take a screenshot of your quote! If you come back it could change and now you will have the proof if they are trying to make it higher. 2) Additionally, ask questions do you cover titers, are alternative methods like laser therapy covered, is there an inflation clause, or is wellness blood work covered every year.

4 piece Cookware set is Teflon Free and Nickel Free cookware. I love these pots, they are heavy and pretty. Learning to cook without Teflon took some adjustment. Coconut oil didn’t help prevent sticking when trying to cook things like pancakes but vegan butter did. The control lids allow you to keep steam in or open it to release some steam. The best part is you can use the lid to strain out the liquid without dirtying a separate strainer.
Steamer insert: This nickel-free stainless steel insert will help you cook the healthiest food possible. This insert has several “ridges” to fit different-sized pots. I use it in my big pot featured in this picture.
