What should I do about insurance for my bird?

[AceTheBudg]

I have been trying to find pet insurance for my bird but many places don’t have a section for birds and if they do it’s only the kind with deductible claims. But I want an insurance that pays right then. I was wondering if i should just get a credit card and pay off the vet fees with it?

I am not aware of any good pet insurance for birds. There is Credit Care which is a credit card that will cover vet expenses with no interest as long as you pay within a certain time but I don't know if you get it on advance or just when you need it....

I have care credit and put the amount of money I'd pay for insurance every month into a savings account

You use the card to pay the vet and then you pay the bill from the credit card.

I have a separate account that has money deposited each month for my guys

I'm pretty sure nationwide is the only company that handles bird policies. Trupanion is the only company I've heard of or found in my own research that offers a direct pay to a vet or clinic. I know what you want, but it doesn't exist yet.

Dr. Kenny is a retired vet who advocates for changing the industry, and has a podcast and helpful tools. I don't know of anyone else to offer a resource for you.

I also got pet assure for everyone this year and had to switch vets, but it's going to pay for itself this year between the puppy, Bella and Monaco in a few visits.

So for care credit how did you sign up for your bird? Since it only says for dogs or cats.

I signed up about 12 years ago so I am afraid I don't remember the application process.
