It's weird because when I insured Rudy and told them that he'd had one dental they said that he wouldn't be covered for dentals because he has history. Therefore you would assume that if he hadn't got history he would be covered, otherwise they should have said, "We don't pay out for molar spur burring at all"..... leaving me with the impression that they do as long as there's no pre-existing history :?
Another thought - why would they put exclusions on Rudy for molar spur burring if they don't cover it anyway -there would be no need to make it an exclusion if they have a blanket policy of not paying out :?
It says in the policy they will not cover anything to 'prevent an injury or illness' so perhaps when it's preventative, like filing teeth down to stop future problems, it's not covered?
One things for sure, you can't rely on them paying out, best to save a bit too!
That could be the key to the wording - bunny stopped eating = emergency dental as opposed to preventative care.
Definitely. Also, the dental wouldn't be the primary illness/injury, it would be treatment as a result of. I wonder if there are ways of getting round this?
I'm thinking people who have had one, then get told they won't cover anymore is if it's stipulated that further dentals will be needed in the future to prevent the initial illness recurring.
No, his first one was just before Christmas. However from readin on here I do try to avoid the words dental and filing. I also mentioned his symptoms. In addition to that. my vet sends the claim for, I don't know if that has a influence
I thought what Bunny Buddy said ^^^ that they will not cover pre exisiting, but will cover new.
I have to say, nothing has been mentioned like this to me, I got my Cheque last week for Frankie's dental before Christmas , should i espect a letter stating such?

he had gone really skinny, the vet found a couple of tiny spurrs. She said had he not of stopped eating she wouln't have thought there was cause for concern, if you see what I mean
This is one of the reasons I decided against insurance.
It says in the terms that they won't pay for teeth filing, dental work etc. People have mentioned that they will pay if it's an emergency rather than routine treatment, but how many of us take our bunnies in for teeth filing unless it's absolutely necessary?
We don't get their teeth trimmed every few mths, just like we would their nails - it's always done because there is a need. Does that mean you have to wait until the bunny stops eating (and therefore becomes an emergency) before getting the work done, even if you spot it sooner? :?
