Why it pays to have Pet Insurance
It is estimated that the average cost of owning a dog is around £10,000 over its lifetime, and a large percentage of that goes towards unforeseen veterinary bills. Vet fees in general have risen a great deal over the past 10 years, mainly due to the improvement in technological procedures and specialist treatments.
No animal lover need be in the awful position of having to choose between the burden of an expensive medical treatment and the loss of a family pet if they have taken out an effective pet insurance policy in the beginning. Research has shown that 1 in 3 cat and dog owners will make a claim on their pet insurance (Consumer intelligence IBT 2010), so having a comprehensive policy in place will be there when you need it.
There are several good reasons to have pet insurance.
- Peace of mind
- Vet fee cover for unexpected bills
- Ensures your pet gets the best possible care
- Public liability cover
- Covers your pet for ongoing illnesses
- Advertising and reward if your pet goes missing
- Emergency cover if you take your pet on holiday
When considering taking out pet insurance, there are several questions that you need to consider when deciding which policy is best for you.
- Do I want ongoing cover year after year?
- How much cover will my pet require?
- Do I have a budget to stick within?
- Do I want cover for illness?
- What additional benefits are important to me?
Having a comprehensive level of insurance cover in place that works best for your needs will not only give you peace of mind, but also enable you to give your pet the best possible care during unforeseen circumstances.
