How to Find the Best Pet Insurance

Barret Williams - December 22, 2021


Pets are best friends to their families; however, they can be costly at times. Pet insurance can reduce the financial burden of caring for your best friend or help save for future expenses by covering some or all of the costs associated with:

  • Emergency care
  • Cancer treatment and prevention
  • Heart and kidney conditions

As our best friends age, these types of conditions become more prevalent, and we may find ourselves struggling to keep up with medical bills. We put a lot of love into our pets – give them the best life possible by getting pet insurance today!

Pet Insurance Pros and Cons

Before deciding on a pet insurance policy, it's important to consider the pros and cons. While pet insurance may make sense for many, it may not be the right fit for all budgets or for those with pets that have a low risk of incurring unplanned medical bills.

Pros:

  • Provides coverage for emergency situations, annual checkups and other routine veterinary care.
  • Coverage can also help save on future costs to treat serious conditions such as cancer and kidney disease.

Cons:

  • Annual premiums and deductibles (the amount paid before insurance kicks in) may be expensive depending on your location and your pet's age, breed and gender.
  • Some companies provide wellness benefits only; this varies by company, so it is best to read the policy details thoroughly or talk to a representative
