Things You Should Know Before You Get Pet Health Insurance


According to an AP poll, half of all Americans consider their pets to be part of the family. Along with this shift in attitude, American consumers are spending more than ever on their furry friends. In 2015, pet industry spending was projected to surpass $60 billion, up 5% from 2014. On average, pet owners will spend half of every dollar on medical costs.

Alongside advances in veterinary care, average treatment costs are increasing too. Life-saving veterinary surgery can eclipse $15,000 and unlike human doctors, vets must be paid in full before services are rendered. To ease this financial burden, over 1 million pet owners are enrolling their animals in a pet health insurance plan.

Health insurance policies however, have different types. So you have to pick the one you think is most suitable for your pet. Medical conditions that your pet might need care for include illness, well-being and accidents. In any case, you could end up spending a lot of money out of your pocket if you don't have the right pet health insurance policy.
