Why You Should Consider Pet Insurance For Your Family Pet
Pets are one of the most loved members of our family. We buy them toys, take them to the vet, and show them love for life. But did you know that there are many more costs associated with pet ownership than just their food and vet visits? There is a chance your pet will become ill or injured at some point in its lifetime and require veterinary care. If it happens your vet bill could be pretty expensive!
Many people don't realize how much it can cost to treat a pet. In fact, the average cost of treating a pet is $1,650 per year. That's over $200 per month that you will have to pay out-of-pocket just to keep your pet healthy!
Pet insurance can help keep that expense at a bare minimum. Most plans cover many common illness and injuries but also include coverage for chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, and joint conditions. Many pet insurance plans even offer coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
Pet insurance plans are designed to help you pay your veterinarian bills. If you end up not needing it, then no problem! But if you need it, then pet insurance can help keep your pet healthy and happy for years to come.

Title: Pet Health Insurance Can Really Pay Off!

It is common to hear that people should get pet insurance. But when they look at the numbers and realize the annual cost of pet insurance, they think twice before purchasing a policy. Most people simply don't realize how much it costs to care for their pet if something were to happen. Regular veterinary care is expensive and not covered by many pet owners' health insurance plans. Annual vaccinations, spaying or neutering procedures and regular check-ups all cost money...money most pet owners don't have on hand.
If you are an owner of a dog, cat or other common family pet, you may want to consider getting pet insurance. Pet insurance policies provide coverage for routine visits to the doctor and more financially devastating situations like emergency care, illnesses and accidents. These types of plans often cover hereditary conditions as well.

Title: Pet insurance: Is it worth it?
Author: Mary C. Tillotson (January 21, 2014)
Owning a pet is a lot of fun and a lot of responsibility. You need to feed Fido or Kitty, walk them and make sure they are healthy. But keeping your pet healthy can come at a high cost. Even among insured animals, half will have an illness or injury of some kind that will require veterinary care in the first year alone. The average cost for a dog or cat is $1,600 annually.
If you are one of the pet owners who thinks an insurance policy might be helpful in paying for veterinary care, you'll want to consider several things first. The type of coverage you choose will depend on the needs of your pet and your budget.
Most basic plans provide coverage for illness from accidents, injuries and chronic conditions as well as routine care including vaccinations and checkups. Some plans even have provisions for emergency situations or hereditary conditions. If this plan is not enough, there are other more comprehensive options available that cover an even wider range of dangers and costs. However, these plans will come with a higher price tag.

In today̢۪s age of high food and fuel prices, it's easy to feel almost guilty when you spend money on your pet ... but everyone knows that pets aren't cheap. Vet bills, spaying and neutering, and vaccinations can really add up.
Here's something that might make you feel even worse - did you know that half of all dogs will get into a fight with another animal that results in medical expenses within their first year of life? And if your kitty isn't declawed before she has a run-in with the neighbor's cat ... well, let's not think about that!
