A Simple Way to Help Protect Your Pets

Pet insurance offers peace of mind, so you can focus on caring for your pet rather than on how to pay for its care.

It’s not always easy to understand what your pet is trying to tell you. Unfortunately, our furry companions can’t speak to us. It’s up to us as their owners to anticipate their needs and be there when something goes wrong.

When your pet needs help, you would do anything to help them feel better. That’s why having pet insurance makes such a difference. Knowing that you can help your pet in their time of need is the best gift you can give them.

Pet emergencies are often unexpected, and sudden. Treatment can be required quickly, and associated medications can mean a hefty price tag to get your pet back to health.

Having pet insurance can mean your treatment plan isn’t based on how much it will cost. Financial considerations shouldn’t be the deciding factor in how we treat our pets. Having a pet insurance policy means the only thing you need to think about is how to help your pet get better in their moment of need.

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing pet insurance:

• Not all pet insurance policies are the same. Most will cover accidents and illnesses, or you can opt for an accident-only plan. However, pet insurance will likely cover veterinary examination costs, prescriptions, hospitalization, surgery and more.
• With older pets, pre-existing conditions may be excluded, or the insurance premiums might cost more. It’s advised to get pet insurance when your pets are young, as the premiums may cost less, and you can address medical issues early, before they become a larger problem.
• Getting covered early will mean your pet is protected from a younger age. While we might think of older pets as being in more need of care, younger pets can get into riskier situations or eat potentially dangerous items.
• Some elements of pet care may not be covered by pet insurance. Treatments for dental and reproductive care, and routine and preventative treatment are not necessarily covered, but are sometimes available with plan top-ups. It’s a good idea to explore different plans to see what is and is not covered to best fit you and your pet’s needs.

The best thing pet insurance can give you is peace of mind. Knowing that when your pet needs medical attention, you’ll be able to make decisions based on their well-being, not the financial implications, you can be sure that you’re giving them the best care possible. And that’s something they’d love to hear.
