Does Your Pet Need Health Insurance?

broken image

If you’ve just purchased or adopted a puppy or kitten then it may be a good idea to look into pet health insurance. Pet health insurance programs can cut costs and provide aid for basic care such as routine vaccinations and even spay or neutering services. You can also look into pet insurance for older pets, but it may be trickier to find the right plan. Some pet health insurances will cover your pet but not any pre-existing conditions. Some plans also have breed restrictions. For instance, if you own a German Shepherd, which is prone to hip dysplasia, the pet health insurance plan may not cover this. In this case, you may not save all that much if you pay for the insurance because you will still need to pay for hip dysplasia care out of pocket.
