"I called three vets before I found one who knew what cryptosporidium even was. Scales covered every single appointment."
"Mango started plucking after we moved apartments. The avian behaviorist alone was $400 a session."
"He started stumbling in October. The neurologist said surgery was the only option. I had no idea hedgehogs could even have neurologists."
"Ptolemy has outlived two apartments and one relationship. He is not going anywhere on my watch."
"The annual wellness exam caught the adrenal tumor early. If we'd waited another six months, the vet said it could have been fatal."
"My parents finally said yes to a ball python when I was 16. Now I'm 19 and glad we had coverage when she got sick."
"Pixel was launching herself off the curtain rod at midnight when she started missing her landings. Something was wrong."
"Copernicus screams at breakfast every single morning. He has strong opinions about scrambled eggs. I would mortgage something for this bird."
"The vet said most beardie owners don't bring them in until it's too late. I'm glad I had a reason to come in early."
