Can I Get Insurance For My Pet?
Insurance can make the difference of a sick pup...

and a healthy pup, while staying within your budget.

Pet insurance is a good idea.
Pet insurance is just like people insurance. It provides
medical visits at a lower rate. It allows your pet to get the
needed procedures done at a much lower cost to you. Thus
ensuring the maximum health for your four legged family
member.
Who offers pet insurance:
There are many companies that offer various medical plans.
This can get confusing. The best thing to do is call your
current vet, or the one you love whom you can't afford, and ask
what companies they accept.
Yeah but how much does it really save?:
Well I don't know about your vet but mine charges $50 just to
get in the door. This does include an exam to see what's
wrong. If my dog needs a vaccine then I pay about $35-$50
each depending on what it is. De-worming is usually $20 for
the good stuff. If I need to spay or neuter my dog it is going to
cost me at least $100.
With insurance the exam visit is around $10. The vaccines
are $6-$15 depending on the shot. De-worming will only cost
$10 and altering my dog about $65.
Now if you need to alter your dog and you still can't afford
these prices then please keep your pet healthy be seeing a
vet at a low cost clinic. You can find more information on what
health problems animals can have if not altered and info on
how to get low cost spay and neuter services in your area.
