The most expensive vet bill from a Connecticut pet parent last year was for $4,834.91...and that didn't even break our Top 70 most expensive bills! A newly adopted dog was playing outside and didn't see a car speeding by, and was struck by the vehicle resulting in a fractured femor. Luckily, he recovered, but his mom was shocked by the cost of the veterinary clinic bill. With PetFirst pet insurance, if you had a veterinary bill like that, you could get back up to 90% of what you paid. And, who wouldn't love that!
