Insurance can be confusing, especially if it’s your first time shopping around with different providers. There are so many different types of insurance, in fact you can insure just about anything these days! From autos to boats, health to home and body parts to pianos!

Pet Care Insurance is no different – from the biggest conglomerates to the smallest companies, they all want you to invest in their policy. How to select the optimum policy for YOU and the best value for money?

Let’s first take a look at Why we need pet insurance…

Pet health care has come a long way and we’ve come to expect veterinary treatment to be as good as (if not better than!) our own health care. However, top-notch care for our pets comes at a price – a very high price – and if you’re not prepared for unforeseen accidents or illness, you can be left with serious debt.

Imagine your pet’s life-saving treatment hanging in the balance – while you work out whether or not you can pay for it!

Of course, we’re not just talking life and death situations here. Your pet may develop a life-long ailment, such as diabetes – common in dogs – and he’ll need drugs and regular check-ups with your vet for life, or your pet may develop symptoms that require blood testing and other analysis to get to the root of his problem.

Surgery bills can run into thousands. Unlike our hospitals, vets have to budget for their own equipment. Have you any idea what an x-ray machine costs?! In addition, the larger the animal, the larger the equipment and the larger your bill. Pet care insurance premiums are calculated accordingly. You can’t expect to insure your horse for the same amount you pay for your cat!

Why Don’t people purchase pet insurance?

As with other types of insurance, some people just think it’s not necessary, others think they can’t afford it – but believe me, as someone who’s been caught without pet insurance in the past – You Can’t afford to be Without cover for your pet!

Sadly, every year, thousands of pets go untreated, their treatment is discontinued or even die – just because of the cost. We love our pets, so why would we let them suffer?

Do Your Homework

When you’re considering buying a pet, you should take into account how much he will cost to keep. Don’t forget to add in your pet care insurance premiums, along with the food, bedding, cat litter and dog leads to ensure your new pet has the very best chance of a long, happy and healthy life.
