Lemonade pet insurance "pre-existing "

Im a first time dog owner and I have alot of questions. My rottweiler very obviously has hip dysplasia and my pitbull has preexisting uti problems treated in a different state . Once I get mailed his insurance card and take him to his first apointment, if the hip dysplasia is noticed will it be labeled as "pre-existing ". Meaning should I mention it the second vist and ask the vet not to say anything in their notes until then? Do I need to have a set primary vet or can I use two seperate ones for both dogs? (The elder will bite) Do I call the insurance to place a claim after the vet appointment or is there some sort of physical that needs to be done as a first apointment before they start covering things? If my elderly dog is very sickly can they raise the rates immediately? Also both dogs are chipped in my name but the insurance is through my partners work, and under his name will that cause any issues, ill be the only one taking them to the vet?Im sorry if this is alot , im reaserching it but the autism makes it difficult to pice all the little strands of everything together. Thank you for any response

Costco Figo pet insurance

It appears cheaper than most other quotes but I am wondering if this is for a reason (besides Costco 15% discount) like they are stricter with coverage or something like that. I am seeing several negative Reddit comments but nothing super positive. Likewise I see a lot of positive for Lemonade, Spot, etc. but also some negative (less so than Figo), as with anything that is being reviewed online. I am getting a puppy at 12 weeks. Thanks!

How to finegal 2 major immediate purchases. Need your advice/ guidance.

# I need help with a financial decision I struggle with learning and concentration difficulties. I have $3500 saved for an eye surgery for my pet, he has not been given the end all diagnosis yet. I am hoping to get it done before he goes blind. According to the specialists office guesstimate, the surgery will be $2-3k for the typical eye situation he has. The specialist is located out of town and will require a rental car and hotel stay for next day follow up. I can't afford the local specialists who charge $4-6k for same surgery. He has medical insurance, (Lemonade) $80/ month. The policy has a $250 deductible. Not one claim has been accepted from them that I have submit so I don't have much faith in future reimbursements. My daily driver is an 11 yo car, it is struggling. As of today the transmission is not shifting 1-2nd, 2-3rd. The mechanic broke the ac a few weeks ago (potential fix will be $200+) and it will eventually need rear differential work. I see it as not worthy of trade for much back with 116,000 miles on it (chevy). Insurance is $158/ month 2nd car, 18 yo is out of commission, insurance is $105/ month. I need to donate it to a charity. I work 6-7 days a week between 2 jobs, job 1 is W-2, job 2 is self employed. Average take home is $625/ week total, taxes are paid quarterly for job 2 which is within my $3500 savings. I have one credit card, balance is $8552, I pay it faithfully but not much over the amount due. It will max out at $9300 which I hope to never do. I need another vehicle asap, my pet needs surgery asap too. I was thinking about getting another credit card for the surgery but am not sure I will qualify for another. Then I can use the cash to put down on a vehicle and hope the insurance pays the cost of the surgery. My credit score stays around 710-725, 0 inquires, 0 collections. I was hoping to enroll in college classes that start in 20 days, I have full tuition offered via pell for the summer semester but I don't think I will be

How does pet insurance work?

I got some pretty bad news about my cat last night and had to pay a hefty vet bill in the process which made me want to look into pet insurance, specifically Lemonade, but I don't guess it really matters the company. I was talking to the people at the vet and they explained to me that they way a lot of it works is that I would get an invoice or something for a refund? Does that mean if I had a $1000 vet bill I'd still have to pay that myself then send an invoice or something to the insurance company and they would send me a refund? Or does it act like a normal insurance company for people where I have a card and it goes like that?
