As Americans, we love our pets. They’re part of the family and we want them to have the best possible care. Like any member of the family, pets have unexpected medical needs that can be costly. In addition, they should be examined annually by their veterinarian for preventative health exams, vaccinations, and other routine checkups. This goes far beyond the occasional visit to the groomer to get bathed and cut, and it can often get quite expensive.
If you have not known this before, like human health insurance, there are a number of high quality and flexible health insurance plans for you pets. Many health plans whether human or pet, offer coverage that may not fit your needs, and may lead to buyer’s remorse or even cause you to feel scammed. This makes it so important to have a good insurance agent to help you focus on what is important, to get the best coverage, for the best value. Since cats and dogs live to 10 or 20 years and often have health issues along the way, the best way to make sure they reach that age in peak health is to regularly visit the vet.
Pet policies, like your own health plan, can have variable deductibles, co-pays, and annual coverage caps. Pet insurance deductibles are far less than our health deductibles, so it is actually quite affordable. Some policies can reduce the cost of vet visits, include immunizations, and have the option of specialty coverages for things such as cancer treatment.
The best time to get the health coverage is when you first get your dog or cat, as the coverage is always cheaper while the pet is young and healthy. But even if you have an older pet, and have not had prior insurance, there are policies for those pets too. Our policies offer discounts for multiple pets, and multi-policy discount is possible also. Call us to explore what is offered, how we can help your pet live a long and healthy life.
