"Have You Considered Animal Insurances?"

Have you ever considered what would happen if your family pet became seriously ill or had a bad accident? Animal insurances can prove to be a great investment if the unexpected happens and your family pet is ever injured or is diagnosed with a serious illness.

Those vets bills can add up mighty quickly and if you aren't prepared with adequate animal insurances to cover your pet's expenses, you could quickly do some serious damage to your family's budget.

For example, if your dog is diagnosed with Cancer, doctors can treat her in much the same way as they do a human patient.

There is a very good chance that your pet could survive...as long as you can afford the treatment.

Radiation therapy, surgery and chemotherapy are all available but these treatments can be terribly expensive. In many cases, a much loved family pet has to be put down simply because the cost of keeping her alive is beyond the financial capacity of her owner.

But What If You Don't Have The Money?

Adequate animal insurances will ensure that your pet can have access to the best medical care available if the unthinkable happens, without you having to pay crippling vet bills or suffering the heartache of losing your dog because you just can't afford to pay for her medical treatment.

Animal insurances operate in much the same way as human health insurance, in that they have annual premiums that are based on your dog's existing health, species and age, along with other factors such as where you live and the activities your dog participates in.

Insurance companies don't like taking risks, (which is interesting, because they are in the risk business...) so if you own an active dog that participates in sports such as Schutzhund or agility training, you may pay a little more for your insurance.

Of course the risk of your pet having an injury is greater, so it's probably worth it, especially if you have spent a lot of time and money training her...

Insurance policies can range from providing basic, limited cover to comprehensive protection including reimbursement for vaccinations, spaying or neutering, heartworm treatment and prevention, general checkups and dental procedures.

Some pet insurances cover accidents only, but there is a higher probably of making a claim due to sickness in most cases, so these limited policies are not of much use to you in many circumstances.

In the end, you will have to decide whether it's worth it to you to insure your family pet.

Animal insurances are a great idea if you have a breeding dog or one where the thought of losing her through some preventable disease is just too much to bear, but it does add to the cost of owning your pet, so that has to be considered carefully.
