What is Pet Insurance for Dogs and Cats?
Pet insurance is a way to help cover the expenses incurred from your pet’s unfortunate illnesses or accidents. It works like the insurance we get for ourselves and our families.
People in Nevada should be well aware of the importance of assessing risks and being prepared. There are times when our pets can get sick or injured, and we would want to get them the best care possible. The vet bills can run high at times, especially if some unfortunate accident happens to our four-legged babies. This is where pet insurance can help. Despite the many possible threats to your pet, you have help sleeping like a baby when you have pet insurance.

Why is pet insurance important in Nevada?
Mountain Lions
The state of Nevada houses over 3000 mountain lions. These lions are always on the hunt for food. So, if your area offers food for them, you may be at higher risk for attacks. Small dogs and cats can become their prey if they enter human settlements, and these small animals have 2 instincts, either panic and run or bark and chase. Both can get them into trouble as they trigger the natural prey instincts of these carnivores. They can leave the pet severely injured with a lot of bruises and scratches.

Black Bears
There are around 500-600 black bears in the state of Nevada. There are little chances that you will encounter them in urban areas but when and if you take your pet for a hike on a forest trail or something then the chances are very high for you and your pet to encounter a cub. There is a high chance that the bear will run away if the dog chases it. But in search of food, there may be chances of a paw swat or an attack. This can leave several open wounds on the pet which can become breeding areas for bacteria and viruses which can then spread multiple diseases and even damage organs.

Feline Panleukopenia
Panleukopenia, also called feline distemper or feline parvo, is a highly infectious and potentially deadly disease in cats. In the past, it was the leading cause of death in cats, but modern vaccinations have been very effective in fighting this disease. Feline parvovirus infects and kills rapidly growing cells such as those in bone marrow, intestines, and the developing fetus. Nevada has recently seen a spike in confirmed cases in cats affected by this disease, mostly seen in unvaccinated kittens 3-5 months of age. This disease can be transmitted through the urine, stool, and mucus of infected cats, and the virus can survive for up to a year in the environment so it’s important to isolate infected cats. Some symptoms include loss of appetite, fever, lethargy, vomiting, and dehydration.
