More and more pet owners are choosing to take out insurance to cover the costs related to veterinary care. By joining an insurance plan for your dog or cat, you are offering them the possibility of better health care in the event of illness or accident.
Most insurances cover the costs for illnesses, accidents, medications and complementary therapies (acupuncture or osteopathy for example). Some may also cover preventive care such as vaccines and dental care. It's up to you to choose what's best for you!
Taking out insurance for your animal is not mandatory. However, we strongly recommend it, from the first year of your companion's life.
Insurance costs can vary depending on several factors:
- The breed of your companion
- His age
- His medical history
- The desired coverage
To get an accurate quote, contact insurance companies directly. There are several plans, you can compare them and choose the one that is right for you.
Avoid the financial stress associated with veterinary expenses.
An accident happens so quickly and our budget is not necessarily ready for it. A dog that ingests a foreign object, a cat that breaks a paw; they always find a way to get in trouble! Insurance gives you peace of mind and allows you to better plan the care your animals will need throughout their lives.
Eliminate the financial barrier and thus provide the best possible care for our companion.
If your pet is sick, your veterinarian may recommend some tests to get an accurate diagnosis. Sometimes the animal has to be hospitalized for several days, and treatment may even require surgery. Costs can add up quickly, but insurance provides a useful financial cushion in these unfortunate situations.
Ease of use.
Joining usually only takes a few minutes. Some companies even offer a free trial period. When making a claim, your veterinarian only has to fill out a form following a visit or hospitalization. You can send it to the company for a refund.
