Traumatic tail injuries not covered!!!!

My client brought his dog in with a wound on the tip of her tail. After she was sedated for the tail to be examined, we discovered that the 2 last vertebrae were fractured and there was a laceration on the tip of the tail. The cause of this injury was traumatic. We had to amputate the last two vertebrae from the tip of the tail. Oneplan now refuses to pay out my client as they refuse to see this as an accident although it was. They say tail amputations are covered under general care which is absolutely ridiculous as this was a traumatic event, and tail amputations for cosmetic reasons were outlawed years ago, so why would any vet amputate a tail for general care????

Hi there Chrystel,

We are sorry to hear about your experience with us and would ask that you please send an email to *** with the clients policy number so that we may have a look into the policy and assist further.

Kindly note that as per our policy wording, tail docking does fall under cosmetic procedures; which in turn are excluded from cover on our policy.

Regards,
The Oneplan Team
