Pet Health Insurance

Many pet owners inquire about pet health insurance when the need for expensive testing or treatment arises.  However, the time to purchase health insurance for your pet is before it becomes necessary.  Just like in human medicine, most pet health insurance companies have a waiting period before the policy becomes effective and they may not cover illnesses that were diagnosed prior to the policy being purchased.

We recommend that all pet owners seriously consider purchasing health insurance for their pets.  Pet health insurance can help make providing the best veterinary care for your pet very affordable.  There are many pet health insurance companies available, so doing your research is an important first step.  We have had positive experience with VPI Pet Insurance.  They offer many affordable plans that cover most major illnesses and injuries.  They also offer plans that cover basic wellness care, such as vaccinations, annual exams, flea and heartworm medications, and wellness testing.

VPI has a very informative website that can answer many of your questions and can even provide you with an estimate of the cost of a plan for your pet.  Click on the following link www.petinsurance.com or call them at 1-800-USA-PETS
