What Is Affordable Pet Health Insurance?

By Elizabeth Katz

If we are honest nothing is ever more dear to your heart than your pet! Doesn't matter if it is a cat, dog, rabbit or a python everyone loves their pets and they become part of the family. However there are a number of occasions where people will come up against a financial issue when it comes to paying for your loving friends care should they fall ill. This is the time when affordable pet health insurance comes in really helpful.

I have a friend who is a vet and over a drink one evening I was talking about pet insurance and what she would class as affordable pet health insurance, her reply was "It depends what you call affordable? Is affordable what you can afford to pay if something goes wrong or is affordable pet health insurance what you pay for your pet on a yearly insurance?"

This was a valid point! If I took the cost of my dog (for example) and she had a bad accident, god forbid but lets say for arguments sake that she got hit by a car. The vet costs could be in the thousands for the initial care and then the after care and attention that my faithful hound would need. The thought of having to pay that out would have taken a serious dent from my savings, and in many cases people would have to borrow the money in order to afford the cost of getting my beloved dog back to full health.

Then there is the other option where I take out a monthly subscription to a yearly affordable pet health insurance and I pay one simple payment of about $20 a month and my animal is covered in case anything should happen to it. Of course there are extreme cases where not everything might be covered but basically it is much cheaper to have the second option.

So this is why we feel that affordable pet health insurance is worth every penny rather than take the risk that your pooch is safe make sure it is safe.
