Pet insurance might not be something the average pet owner thinks about often. This type of insurance is normally affordable – except when your pets are old – and has been around since Claes Virgin, a Swede, created the first insurance policy in the late 19th century.
But pet insurance outside of Europe is patchy because few people know about it. They might be unaware of the cost and benefits. And not everyone knows that dogs and cats are only some of the animals that can get pet insurance; you can get insurance for your amphibian, opossum, bird, tortoise, chameleon, chinchilla, or hedgehog.
Your pet gets the care and attention they need
And they can get it immediately, not when you can finally have the money to pay for the operation or procedure.
Your pet need not be ‘put out’
Instead of getting ‘put out’ your pet can get the treatment they need to continue being the little pest you love so much.
Accidents need not curtail their enjoyment of life
Animals should have the freedom to enjoy life. Fleas, heart conditions, accidents, and cancer could all hamper your pet’s enjoyment.
They can phone home if need be
Sometimes pets get lost or someone steals them. Pet insurance can help them get home: rewards for recovering the animal, posters and even advertising can help the animal get back to the home it loves.
