What Is Pet Insurance and How Does It Work?
If you are a pet parent, you want to keep your furry friend (and your wallet) protected in case of an emergency. Educate yourself on how pet insurance works with this explanation from Pets Best.
What is Pet Insurance?
Pet health insurance reimburses pet owners on veterinary bills when their pet gets sick or injured. Pets Best also offers a routine care plan (for vaccinations, flea and tick preventatives, and more).
Dogs and cats of any breed can be enrolled in a pet insurance plan starting at 7 weeks old, up to any age. Pets Best plans are available in all 50 states & D.C.
Why Do Pet Parents Need It?
- 1 in 3 pets will have an unexpected veterinary visit this year.1
- Veterinary care is more sophisticated than ever, therefore costs have gone up (pets can have MRIs, chemo, etc.).
- For peace of mind.2 So you can go back to enjoying your pet, rather than worrying about what might happen & the cost.
