How to Pick the Best Insurance for Your Pet

Katharine · December 26, 2019 ·

Spread the love

Medical bills, whether for humans or pets, can be costly. If you are emotionally invested in your dog and consider him or her as the love of your life, then getting insurance for pets can be a good investment. Pet insurance is highly similar to insurance policies for humans as both covers veterinary and medical bills and must be paid for by a monthly premium. The upside to having insurance is the protection and security it gives you from the unexpected costly veterinary bills and medical expenses that you may not otherwise be able to afford.

If you are emotionally invested in your dog and consider him or her as the love of your life, then getting insurance for your pets can be a good investment.

Lots of companies nowadays offer pet insurance, but according to Super Pets, two of the most significant and most stable insurance providers that specialize in insuring your precious pets are Healthy Paws and Petplan. Before committing yourself to one of these two names, we have compiled a few tips to help you pick out the best insurance for your dear fur baby.

1. Examine the packages offered diligently.

Different companies offer different coverage. It can be overwhelming if you take it all in at once. Take time to examine packages posted on company websites or brochures. Also, do not shy out of asking for clarification if something is unclear to you. After all, you will pay for the monthly premium, and you want to choose the best worth for your money.

Some of the most important things to look for in a package are the inclusion of the following:

  • Check-ups and examinations
  • Medications
  • Laboratory tests and imaging tests, such as X-rays and MRIs
  • Hospitalization
  • Dental treatment

 2. Monthly Premium

The next important thing to consider is the premium you have to shell off monthly for your pet insurance. Some companies offer a higher premium than others because of the lower deductible stipulated in the policy. A deductible is the share of the cost you’re required to shoulder out-of-pocket before the insurance covers the remaining cost. Moreover, some policies have a bigger coverage making them more expensive than the other offers. So choosing the package or policy really depends on your budget and your capacity to pay.

 4. Check with your veterinarian.

Some vets are connected with certain insurance companies. Therefore, if you have a go-to vet for your fur baby, it is best to check with him or her if he or she is affiliated with certain insurance companies. The problem that some encounter when choosing an insurance company is, their preferred veterinarian is not affiliated with that company. As a result, it leaves them with no choice but to look for another doctor that is covered by said insurance. Moreover, some vets are willing to give a few tips on what to consider when choosing an insurance policy for your pets.

4.  Company credibility and stability.

Credibility and company stability are highly crucial in insurance companies. You want something that can surely provide for your needs should the need arise. So do your research and check out the feedback from other clients. It won’t hurt to double-check and be sure.

A healthy dog is a happy dog, and a happy owner. Insurance for your pets helps you keep those costs down and makes pet ownership not put a heavy burden on your wallet.
