Why You Need Pet Insurance

It's true, not only human's have health insurance these days but that right is also being extended to the kitties and pooches of the world.

For those of you who have pets know that taking your pet to the vet can be nearly as expensive as you yourself taking a trip to your doctor which is why it makes sense to avoid those unforeseen veterinary costs by considering pet insurance. It's not just for humans anymore and is well worth getting.

You never know when you're pet is going to get sick, they eat all kinds of things and like to go exploring and because of that wonderful adventurous nature they all possess will eventually find themselves at the vet's surgery sooner or later.

And when they do fall ill, it's a powerless feeling that your pet's life hangs in the balance based purely on financial factors. It's a difficult decision to be faced with especially when they are considered part of the family.

Four years ago my dog Tyrone had to have surgery on his left leg for a torn cruciate ligament, it cost $4,500! He was a hyperactive dog and so was always getting himself into mischief. A year later he needed x-rays for his hips and pelvis, the cost was another $700, then not long after he needed eye surgery to remove a cyst on his lower eyelid, this set me back another $700.

My attitude after each procedure was that he would be fine now and at least he wouldn't need that surgery again. What the reality was, is that something at some point would always crop up and that it was just a matter of time. So then I made the decision to get pet insurance and only wished I'd done it from the start.

To make sure your pet is taken care of and to be kind to yourself financially, you should seriously consider a good pet insurance plan. You can choose from a range of pet healthcare services which can also be extended to cover other pets if you have more than just one.

Providing your pet with insurance is not being wasteful but forward thinking. Don't let the issue of money dictate your decisions when it comes to your pet's life.

Pets are part of the family too and are worth it so check out pet insurance because you never know when you just might need it, and if your pet is anything like mine, the sooner the better.
