Are You Prepared To Pay The Vet

Every year, at least one in three of all pets will need some kind of emergency veterinary care ranging from minor to life-threatening situations. Are you prepared for the vet costs of this emergency care?

And even if your cat or dog never gets injured in some type of accident can you guarantee that they will never become ill? Recent studies indicate that illness is even more of a possibility for your pet than accident with one out of two requiring vet care because of illness.

In addition to accident and illness, routine pet health care is becoming more and more expensive as time goes on. In reality it will soon be on a par with human health care and we all know how out of hand that has become!

Pet health insurance policies can be acquired that cover all these possibilities, accident, illness and routine vet care. Gone are the days of pet health insurance in the form of discounts from vets or pet supply stores. Todays pet health insurance policies are as sophisticated as their human counterparts.

Sophistication, doesn't mean difficult to understand, however. All it takes is pure common sense. If you're dog has been neutered, then you certainly don't need gestational (maternity) coverage.

Some policies will not cover more than just the very basic care, and that might be enough for some families. Higher priced pet care insurance will cover more items and may also include a number of discounts and additional services that make the package that much more valuable.

Consider these bonuses and savings when you are weighing the pros and cons of each policy, the additional cost may very well be offset by large discounts on some big ticket items. Many policies offer discounts for things like spaying/neutering, micro-chipping, and obedience training.

QuickCare simple accident coverage for a puppy is about $11.00 per month a $50 dolar deductible. When you consider that the average cost for the surgical removal of a foreign body is over $1500, this is an absolute savings! We have all seen our puppies and dogs get into things and swallow stuff, You just never know when that stuff is something that will need to be surgically removed at a huge cost!

I highly suggest that all pet owners scout around the internet and find the program that is right for them and their pet. Make sure you check apples against apples and make a decision before an accident happens to your furry friend.
