Compare For Value And Quality - Pet Insurance
July 31st, 2011 by admin
There are so many companies competing with each other to provide pet cover and when you need to find one that you’re happy with, it helps know that there are certain things to look out for.
Whatever policy you choose, make sure you read the small print, over and over, until you understand what this means. You don’t want to be in a situation where you need to claim for something unexpected and then discover that you’re not covered.
Your pet can’t tell you when its tummy feels funny or if it’s experiencing a burning sensation every time it urinates, which is why preventative care for pets is so important. Purebreds can have even more health issues too, which can become costly.
Some policies give different levels of cover. Study all of them and see which one you would feel happiest with, bearing in mind that the highest level will be more expensive per year. Check on the amount of the excess you will need to pay in the event of a claim. It can vary. We had a policy once for our pet whose excess was 50 pounds until he reached the age of 9 and then it shot up to 90 pounds. Too much! We changed to a company who insured older dogs and the excess is lower and he is covered for life. It may cost us a bit more per year, but as he’s now 14 we’re not taking any chances.
You might think it’s best to just put aside an amount each month for emergencies instead of paying out high premiums for something that might never happen. Well, I can see your point, but consider the following that happened to my son and his partner.
They brought home a beautiful chocolate labrador puppy and all was well for 8 months until they decided to take him to the Lake District one weekend. He seemed to be in pain so they took him to the vet when they got home. Turned out he had hip dysplasia which meant he has abnormal hip sockets and his hips were not really big enough. It would have been really distressing for him. He needed 2 hip operations. He had his left hip replaced first and then a few months later his right hip was replaced. Total cost was over 6000 pounds.
Obviously, you need to thoroughly read different pet insurance policies and determine which one is right for you and your pet. Oh, and there’s that budget issue too. You want to be able to keep paying your mortgage or rent. You and kitty do need a roof over your head
