Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pet's health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.

As a new golden retriever owner I was very careful in choosing my vet. I used to go to Basinview a long time ago and the service is still amazing. I have nothing but praise for for the care my new pup (Gemma) has been getting. She has been here twice in the last two weeks and she absolutely loves everyone she's met here. On the first visit they just fit me in to ensure my little Gemma got her flea and tick meds asap. Miranda and Chad at this time couldn't have been any better to her and me for that matter. On the second visit Dr. Patterson and her assistant, (Renee?) were very helpful in explaining

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Yvonne, her Tech Stephanie and all the staff at Basinview. We've been going to this clinic for years with all our pets. They've always been treated with patience and love. Two weeks ago we took one of our dogs to them thinking she had a virus of some sort. It ended up being way more serious than this and… we had to make the decision to say goodbye. The staff was amazing, caring, helping and so compassionate. We picked up our fur babe's remains yesterday, they had a paw print and a sympathy card signed by all of them. We cannot thank you enough for

Dr. Aimee was fantastic with my bunny, Bonkers. She isn’t our regular vet, but they jumped to the rescue when we needed to be seen sooner than a later date. She treated him with such respect and was a great… support to me with his current health issues. She took the time to explain things as clearly as possible to ease my stress, and my bun really seemed to like her. Very sweet techs working alongside her as well. Thank you Basinview, this was a very positive experience for us. ❤️

Even though my budgies condition was terminal, the staff were very gentle and compassionate with him. It was a rough day but I'm glad he was in the best hands he could've been in. Thank you

My puppy had her first visit at Basinview today and I could not be more please with how well the appointment went. The staff and Dr. Amanda are fantastic and very informative. It is evident that they truly love and care about their clients. They even included a cute puppy present for her first visit.

Basinview has been outstanding to us during the treatment and subsequent loss of our beautiful Mastiff Jaye. Between the emails and phone calls, and just the honest and sincere concern for our girl, I can't recommend them highly enough. The staff are a fantastic and caring group.

Recently had to put our rat down, it wasn't easy. The vets that dealt with our little guy were so helpful and understanding. When the time came they were comforting and very respectful. Would highly recommend.
