What is Pet Insurance for Dogs and Cats?
Pet insurance for dogs and cats is similar to insurance for us humans. The way insurance helps us pay our medical bills in a time of need; pet insurance helps pay eligible vet bills when our pet friends fall sick or are injured.
Pets like dogs and cats can encounter several threats to them through air, food, water, and injuries, to name some. These can include canine distemper, influenza, heartworms, leptospirosis, external parasites, etc. for dogs and roundworms, rabies, campylobacteriosis, salmonellosis, cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, etc. for cats. At such times, we want to get them the best possible care, but the vet bills can be high. Despite the fear of vet visits for your pet, you have help sleeping like a baby if you have pet insurance.
