Advantages of Pet Insurance

There are many advantages to having pet insurance:

• 1 in 3 pets need vet treatment every year. Pet insurance gives you the peace of mind that you will be able to afford the best treatment for your cat or dog if he or she becomes sick.



• If your dog runs out into the road and causes an accident you will be liable for paying compensation to the injured parties. This could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds, possibly millions. Dog insurance carries with it public liability cover so that you are protected from such claims.



• Cat health and dog health insurance policies are more affordable than veterinarian loan programs, which charge you high-interest rates.



• Adult dogs and cats need to be vaccinated yearly. This can cost between £30 and £60 for a dog, depending on the vet you use. Puppies need a course of three vaccinations, each costing between £20 and £40.



• There is no such thing as a 'typical vets bill' but treating a kidney infection may cost around £400 and a serious injury such as a fracture or hip replacement, for example, could be £1,500 or more. Pet Insurance that would cover these issues start from as little as £10 a month.
