I will keep fingers and paws crossed. Sam had a tumour on his paw and they cut it out along with one toe. You wouldn't notice it now unless you were counting toes. He is now 4 years cancer free. Thank you pet plan.
Shoosh-
if you don't mind me asking, what is the policy you have? And again tell me to do one if I am asking to much, but since Sam is a bit older than Patch, I'd apperciate some advice - is £3000 a year actually enough? She has the lifetime type of policy so it's £3000 for whatever per a year... I don't mind paying for a one off broken leg or whatever, it's the long term will most certain dry your bank account out fast kind of illness I am worried about...

Also, what type of tumour was it, do you know? Patch's had Mast cell tumour and it's very common on cats and dogs but lucky for the kitties they don't tend to spread whereas for dogs, it would usually be a lot more serious...

Worst case for me would be suck up with JL for another year then if Patch stays well and healthy, switch to petplan next year, unless JL wants to charge me for more money for £3000 cover than petplan would for £7500 cover. I need to balance the possibility, however small, that Patch's tumour mighr return and the 2 years exclusion petplan has proposed...
Vet said the marker for this type of tumour spreading is 8+ and Patch's report shows less than 1, so chances are very very slim, but like any medical condition, you can never be sure.
