Pet insurance is a topic in pet owner health that isn’t talked about a lot. But, it can offer incredible peace of mind especially when you have unexpected vet expenses. We’ll be getting into everything you need to know about pet health insurance.
How Does Pet Insurance Work?
Here’s what you need to know:
When you visit us with your pet, you will pay the full balance of the bill for their visit. Then, you will submit your paid invoice to your pet insurance company. Each company has its own process for this step, but it can typically be tackled online.
After that, you’ll receive reimbursement for the covered expenses. Keep in mind that this could take a few weeks!
Why Get Pet Insurance?
Pet insurance is helpful because it allows you to manage unexpected costs for your pet. If you discover your pet has to have sudden medical procedures, or develops a chronic illness, it’s important to be able to cover those expenses. It’s can be especially important if:
- Your pet is prone to health issues
- You’re worried about the cost of potential emergency expenses
- You want peace of mind that your pet’s vet expenses will be taken care of
We don’t directly work with any pet insurance providers. Therefore, we don’t have any insurance company recommendations. This means you will need to do research to determine the best insurance for you and your pet.
Here are a few extra factors to keep in mind when you’re deciding if pet insurance is right for you:b
- Your Budget
Make sure you keep in mind that although you’ll have insurance, you’ll still need to pay the upfront cost of any vet visits.
- Research providers
Spend the time looking into different insurance companies, what they cover, and their reviews.
- Consider your pet’s lifestyle
If your pet is active, aging, or has chronic conditions, having pet insurance might be worth the investment.
