What is pet insurance?
Pet Insurance provides financial protection when your pet is injured or becomes sick. It also covers routine vet care such as vaccinations and spaying/neutering.
You can also get emergency treatment for your pet if it is in an accident or becomes sick.
There are two types of Pet Insurance:
-
Catastrophic – This insurance pays for the medical costs of your cat in case of serious injury.
-
Non-catastrophic: This covers routine vet costs such as microchips and spays/neuters.
Many companies offer both catastrophic as well as non-catastrophic coverage. Others offer just one or the other.
To cover these costs you will need to pay a monthly Premium. This amount will depend on how much you spend to care for your pet.
The price of insurance depends on which company you choose. It is a good idea to shop around before making your purchase.
You may be eligible for discounts if more than one policy is purchased by the company.
You can transfer an existing pet insurance plan from another company to a new one.
If you choose not to purchase any pet insurance, you will need to make all payments yourself.
You can still save money. Ask your veterinarian about discounts.
He might discount you if you bring your pet to see him frequently.
You can also find local shelters where you can adopt a pet, rather than paying for one.
Remember, no matter what kind of insurance you buy, you must read the fine print carefully.
This will give you an accurate estimate of the value of your coverage. If you do not understand something, contact your insurer immediately.
