Pet Insurance
Pets are family, too, and they deserve comprehensive coverage.
Pets are family, too, and they deserve comprehensive coverage. The majority of cats and dogs will need veterinary attention at some point in their life, and there’s no knowing how serious things could be or how much it could cost.
Choosing the Right Coverage
Nearly every policy has some form of payout limit. This could be for a single treatment, all treatments for a specific condition, or a total for all treatments during the year. The premium costs will vary depending on the type and amount of the payout limit, so you’ll need to weigh the options.
What to Expect from Your Policy
You also have to watch out for a few rules that might surprise you. For example, a pet insurance policy will often have a waiting period of around two weeks after you take out the policy. During this time, you can’t make any claims for illnesses or accidents. Another difference from human medical policies is that you usually have to pay the vet bills up front and then make the claim to get the money back from the insurer.
