If you would not think of being without insurance for yourself and your family, that should include your pet companion as well. Pet health insurance is not as expensive as human insurance and might come in handy.

Pet health care insurance is similar to human health insurance. Like all insurance, you hope you never use it. Pet health care insurance will pay or reimburse for veterinary services that are covered under the plan. Medical treatments and technologies used for humans are now being used for pets.

If your pet needs an emergency surgery it would be nice to know that cost is not a factor and you won’t have to pay for everything on your own. Pet health care insurance is just sensible.

Purchase pet health care insurance coverage ideally when your pet is still young before pre-existing conditions develop. You can enroll as young as 8 weeks. Some pet health insurance plans only allow enrollment up to age 10 for cats and age 8 for dogs (age 6 for some breeds). Once enrolled, your pet may stay in the pet health insurance plan for the rest of its life. 

Because of their natural adventurousness and high activity level, very young pets are famous for getting hurt and needing emergency care.

There are many pet insurance companies to choose from, and many different pet insurance plans. Read the fine print. Some companies have veterinarians that belong to their network. Under those pet health care insurance plans, you pay a co-payment up front and the pet health care insurance company pays for the covered services. The downside is you have to find a veterinarian that is in the pet health care insurance “network”. Each policy is different and there is no one pet health care insurance plan that fits everyone’s needs.

Services covered under many policies include spay surgery, neuter surgery, annual vaccinations, flea preventative, annual heartworm preventative, heartworm test, annual dental cleanings, accidents, illnesses, cancer, x-rays, and surgeries. In many cases, pet health care insurance will cover even more in maintaining the wellness of your loved pet. Pet health insurance may also cover prescription foods, boarding, euthanasia, accidental death, recovery of lost pets, and micro-chip identification. Pet health insurance can prove to be invaluable.

Additional facts to consider when enrolling.

Are pre-existing conditions covered? Under the pet health care insurance policy, what constitutes a pre-existing condition? If under the pet health care insurance coverage a pre-existing condition is covered, what are the deductibles? Does the pet health insurance policy you are interested in cover prescription costs? Will my premium go up over time, as I file claims, or my pet gets older? Does the plan cover chronic or recurring conditions? What are the financial limits of coverage? How are they applied? Do you have more than one pet that could benefit from pet health insurance coverage and are there multi-pet discounts available? Does your particular pet health care insurance policy require monthly or annual payments? Talk to your veterinarian about your pet's health and question the insurance companies about the limits of the pet health insurance coverage before purchasing a particular plan.
