We'd like to celebrate by sharing three unusual claim stories. They're a good reminder of why it's so important to protect our furry and sometimes accident-prone friends. We also have some ideas to mark this month, as well as a few tips on visiting veterinary specialists. | | | | | | |  | Unusual Pet Claim Stories | | | | Every pet is unique, and so are these stories.* We're happy that we were able to help these pets through these odd incidents. Knock on the Noggin Fitzgerald, a spunky Maltese, loved chasing squirrels. That is until the day they got the upper hand. They knocked an avocado out of a tree, which landed square on Fitzgerald's head! Fitzgerald was out cold, and off to the veterinarian. He was treated for a mild concussion, and is now fine. But the squirrels certainly gave him something to think about. A Very Hot Jump Rudy, a Calico cat, showed off his jumping skills by leaping from cabinet to stove. Unfortunately, the ceramic stove top was hot, and his front paw got burned. The veterinarian wrapped his blistered paw in a bootie, which Rudy did not want to keep on. His paw has since healed, but Rudy still isn't afraid to jump on the appliances. A Too Happy Tail Emma is a very happy Yellow Lab who constantly wags her tail. This wouldn't be a problem, except she takes medication that thins her skin, and all that banging caused lacerations. Even a sad tail couldn't stop Emma from wagging, and the sores wouldn't heal. She eventually had to have her tail shortened, but she's still as happy as ever. Remember, if your pet ever has a run in with an avocado or jumps into trouble, we'll be there to help with the veterinary bills. Don't miss more stories on our blog about an olive pit eating Yorkie and more. | | | | | Celebrate Pet Health Insurance Month | | | Pet Health Insurance Month is about celebrating the bond we have with our pets and the importance of protecting them. Here are a few ideas to mark this month. Spread the Word Let other pet parents know how pet insurance can help them. You can tell your friends easily right from our website. Schedule a Check-Up If your pet hasn't had a yearly physical, set one up with your veterinarian. Routine visits can help prevent future health issues. Show Some Extra Love Take a step back from your busy day to spend a little more time playing or cuddling with your pet. It'll be time you can both enjoy! | | | | | | | | |  |  | Need a Specialist? | | | Our August newsletter had advice on emergency care for your pet. Your pet is also covered for specialists – from dermatologists to cardiologists – as long as they're licensed veterinarians treating covered conditions. Here are a few tips: -
If you're not sure what kind of specialist might be helpful, your regular veterinarian can be a good resource. -
Make sure the specialist reviews your pet's medical records and understands the history. -
Don't hesitate to talk to your veterinarian if you have questions about the specialist's treatment plan. Keep in mind that we don't require a referral to see a specialist. If you need help finding one, try our Veterinary Locator. You can also learn more about specialists for dogs or for cats at the ASPCA's website. | | | | | | | | | | Rockin' and Running with Team ASPCA | We're ready to run with Team ASPCA in the Dodge Rock 'n' Roll Los Angeles Half Marathon on October 30!

Finally, she was diagnosed with a broken femur bone. Ouch! Luckily, she's now recovering well. ASCPA Pet Health Insurance really came through covering a large part of her treatment, including the specialist visit. I was also thankful for the compassion, sincerity, and honesty of the representative who helped us with our claim. — Lisa L., Chapel Hill, N.C.
