Do you need pet health insurance?

For most people, their dog or cat is a member of their family, your best friend. So it’s natural that you would want to look after your friend and do whatever you could to ensure his or her health and wellbeing. But apart from that is the reality that vets bills can be very expensive and if you’re ever faced with making a decision about life saving treatment, you wouldn’t want to be placed in the position of having to choose between your own financial security and your pet’s life. Having this insurance gives you the peace of mind knowing that this is not a decision that you will need to make.

What is the right age to start a policy?

Puppies, young dogs, kittens and cats like to explore and get in to all sorts of trouble, from rough play with owners to accidental ingestion of foreign objects. Adult dogs and cats need lots of preventative care to ensure a long and healthy life; some are still getting in to trouble as adults as well. Older dogs and cats can experience age related conditions such a fractures, degenerative illness etc. Bottom line is that there is no right age to wait until before taking out a policy. There are policies available suitable for dogs and cats of all ages, you just need to choose the one that’s right for your pet.

What are the benefits?

There’s obviously the peace of mind mentioned above, but what about the regular costs associated with owning a dog or cat? Vaccinations, spaying/neutering, preventative health care, regular examinations, teeth cleaning, etc; while most of these expenses are usually not to large on their own, over the course of a year they can really add up. In addition to these are the costs of accidents. All of these can take a large bite out of your budget. For most people the smaller regular monthly expense of dog or cat health insurance is much easier to fit into the budget.
