If there is one thing recent years have taught us, it is that you simply cannot predict the future. The same can be said for your furry friends. Owning a pet can be such a rewarding and exciting experience, but sometimes they need extra care.
While you can’t predict when your pet will get sick, or how much vet bills will cost, you can protect against unexpected veterinary costs with pet insurance.
Just like when you researched the perfect breed for your lifestyle, it’s important to investigate pet insurance options too. When it comes to picking pet insurance, you’ll want to shop around and here is what you need to pay attention to:
Coverage amount
Surprises can be fun, but not when it comes to your pet insurance coverage.
Maybe you have an accident-prone cat, or a dog that is too curious. Understanding what’s included in your coverage is the best way to avoid surprises in the future, and to help protect your furry friends.
With a full understanding of what pet insurance costs, and what it covers, you can find the best plan to help protect your furry friend. When picking a pet insurance company, look for one that offers you the ability to customize the plan and premium to work best for you and your pet.
Remember, selecting options for higher annual coverage limits, or a higher percentage of your bill to be covered by insurance, often means a higher premium. Finding a provider that offers flexible options means you can choose coverage that best fits your pet, and your budget.
No age limits
Just like with people, it is typically easier and less expensive to insure a younger pet, and some providers won’t accept pets over a certain age. Ideally, you’ll want to have a pet insurance policy earlier on, so you are less likely to have pre-existing conditions excluded from coverage. No matter the age of your pet, it’s important to ask if your pet insurance covers older pets or how their age will affect their coverage.
No breed exclusions
Did you know that some Ontario pet insurance companies do not cover all breeds? Some companies exclude breeds from plans or make them eligible for an additional fee. Look for a pet insurance provider that has no breed exclusions for covering your furry friends, meaning no matter the breed, your pet is welcome to enrol in coverage.
Flexibility and convenience
Having a plan that offers flexibility when selecting your monthly pet insurance cost and allows you to have control over which specialist or licensed veterinarian your pet visits, is important to ensure stress-free days and less out-of-pocket expenses.
