Consider What Medical Insurance For Pets Is
-
What Medical Insurance for Pets Is
- It's coverage for the unexpected - like accidents and illnesses. These expenses can be costly, making them difficult to budget for.
-
What It IS NOT
- It's not an investment or savings plan. Often, it doesn't cover expected costs - like vaccines and parasite protection.
-
Why Planning Matters
- You can't buy insurance in the moment you need it most.
Consider The Lifetime Care Of A Pet
Though we don't like to think about it, most pets get hurt or sick at some point in their lives.
-
Common Health Problems
- Dogs: Vomiting and diarrhea, rupture of cranial cruciate ligament, lameness and limping
- Cats: Kidney Disease, Lymphoma, urinary tract infection
Consider The Cost
-
Premiums
- The monthly cost - your premium - will vary depending on a number of factors, including your pet's age, breed, and where you live.
-
Deductible
- Your plan may include a deductible - the portion of the bill you are responsible for before your provider will start payment.
Consider The Coverage
-
Waiting Periods
