Why Pet Insurance ?

Did you know that the average costs of veterinary treatment have more than doubled in the past ten years? And that costs for certain kinds of treatments, including surgery, chemotherapy and even routine preventive procedures, have risen even faster? The costs of keeping your pets healthy – or even saving their lives – have never been higher.

Consider these facts about pet health care:

• There are roughly 6 million new cancer diagnoses made in dogs and a similar number in cats made each year.**
• 88% of dog owners and 63% of cat owners took their pet to the veterinarian at least once in the past 12 months.*
• The average number of visits to the veterinarian each year is 2.8 for dogs and 2.3 for cats.*
• The most common reason for veterinary visits for dogs and cats is routine care, which includes physical exams, vaccines, dental work and other related services. These routine visits, on average, cost dog owners $211 each year and cat owners $179 each year.*
• In addition to routine care, dog and cat owners spend an average of $574 and $334 each year, respectively, on surgical veterinary visits for various illnesses and injuries.*

Unfortunately, you never know when your pets may experience an injury or illness. But with a Petshealth Care Plan, you won’t have to put a price tag on their life. You can even choose a plan that reimburses you for routine preventive treatments like dental cleanings and vaccinations.So for the following reasons pet insurance is needed.

Peace of Mind

No one plans on their pet getting sick or being in an accident. With Petplan, you don't have to worry about being faced with unexpected medical bills. You will be able to provide the best possible care for your pet when the unexpected happens.

Responsible Care

In many European countries - like the UK and Sweden - insuring your pet is just as common as insuring your home or car. It's second nature. Today, responsible pet ownership is about more than loving them - it means being able to provide the right environment, stimulation, lifestyle, exercise and activity levels, nutrition and health care for your pet.

Financing Your Pet's Health

We all have the best intentions when it comes to saving money for emergencies, however it seems like something always comes up and we're back to square one.

Our Cover for Life™ plans for dogs and cats are like an emergency fund that never runs out!

Pet insurance is a way to budget and control the cost of keeping your pet healthy. You'll always know your monthly costs so you won't be caught unprepared in the case of an emergency. You'll be free to provide your pet with your love and attention in times of need.

Avoiding Difficult Decisions

Did you know that many pets do not receive potentially life-saving treatments because the cost is too great for the owners to bear?

Pet insurance allows you to provide your pet with the best possible care. Decisions regarding treatment are no longer complicated by financial restrictions. Treatments that may otherwise be unattainable can be provided without a second thought. Your primary concern becomes the health of your pet, not the cost of care.

Planning for the Future

When you insure your pets before they develop health problems, you are completely covered if they develop anything in the future.

With Petplan, your pets will be covered for any conditions that do not exist before enrolling or that arise after the waiting period.

Don't be caught unprotected. Insure your pets before anything happens.

Protection from the Unexpected

When people choose their dog or cat, they often plan for how compatible that species or breed will be with their lifestyle.

However, few people budget for the common illnesses and medical problems associated with their pet's type or breed, or for the additional accidents or mishaps that occur over the course of an average pet's life; things like ear infections, fights with other pets and swallowing foreign objects.

Pet insurance is your way of preparing for the costs of these unexpected occurrences, so you can go on with your life as quickly and easily as possible.
