They covered a lot and paid (reimbursed) in a timely manner.

THAT'S why Levi had insurance
Cosmo & Clara were already pretty advanced in age/ineligible for insurance when we got them, but will keep it in mind for any possible future doggos.

Yup. Our Levi had the procedure on his left side about 4 years ago. U of Mo vet school did the surgery. We were told there's a 50/50 chance the other side would need it - so far so good. Levi's @ 75 lbs, and I slept with him every night in on an inflatable mattress for eight weeks so I could lift him up and down to go out.

It was worth the cost and effort.
I slept on an inflatable mattress when Cosmo couldn't do stairs anymore, definitely was a big help.
