Pet insurance: What the right coverage can do for you

pet insurance

More often than not, a visit to the vet involves a great deal of trepidation not only for your dog’s health concerns but also the potential costs involved.

With advancements in veterinary technologies and diagnostics, caring for our pets is becoming more and more expensive, and all owners want to be financially able to give their pets the best treatment possible. Injuries and illnesses are often unexpected, and these costs can cause major stress, particularly when after-hours emergency treatment is required.

Thankfully, you can be prepared for when accidents do occur!

What is pet insurance?

Pet insurance, like health insurance, is designed to assist with covering medical bills or in this case, veterinary bills. Some plans can assist with paying up to 80% of the bill.

Pet insurance can cover accidental injury, illness and extras including routine care, dental and alternative treatments.

Why should I get coverage for my dog?

Unless you have savings that can cover the costs for unexpected vet bills, pet insurance is crucial if your dog is to recover from an illness or injury. Your best friend is a member of your family and we all want to have the ability and means to offer help when they need it most.

There are several great benefits to having pet insurance for your pup:

·       Peace of mind

·       Receive the optimal treatments, not based on a budget

·       Maintain their health

·       Unexpected vet bills won’t cause financial burden

·       You will save money in the long run if an accident does happen

Take out an insurance policy for your puppy when they’re still young and do not have any pre-existing conditions. This will ensure your dog is covered for any conditions that arise throughout their lifetime.
