If your beloved pet becomes injured, she may require surgery to survive. That may cost you between $2000-$2500. And most of us can't simply pay for the costs at a time. So the Pet insurance is in question. The policy offers a safety net for unforeseen health expenses. Pet insurance provides the coverage for the wellness check-ups as well as coverage for medical care, vet bills.
Is this different then using the health insurance at Pet Smart? My poooch has insurance thru them that covers shots, xrays and blood work.. Not sure about the high $$ items...
I think this is something that you would want to shop for just like you shop for insurance for yourself, many companies offer it, some are really good and some seem to be almost scams and cover barely anything. You will want to make a list of questions to ask before contacting the potential insurer, find out if they cover preventative care and major surgeries or care that is going to cost you a paw and a tail. Just kidding. But you should seriously treat it like insurance for yourself.
I did not know Pet Smart had insurance. My says she is looking at having surgery on her dogs foot. She says no policy would have covered it as it was not cause by an injury but from wear and tear or by genes.
You can shop for this type of insurance online also, there are many companies out there that provide it. Make sure that you don't fall for a scam there, because there are some of them out there too.
Pet insurance is something important, dog is mans best friend, and has been since before we stopped dragging knuckles. They deserve the same respect we give ourselves, and getting pet insurance is a good way to do that, cause Vets are daylight robbers at those prices. _________________ I have a new personal crusade.
