Understanding Pet Insurance at Country Hills Pet Hospital
What is pet insurance and how does it work?
Pet insurance is meant to help you pay for some larger medical expenses that can come up with your pet as well as long-term conditions that require constant medications or care. How that works is you pay your bill and then you submit your receipts to insurance, and they will reimburse you afterward.
How much does pet insurance cost? What affects the price?
Pet insurance definitely varies in cost. You can get more basic plans up to pretty comprehensive plans that cover a variety of things. Your breed of pet will also affect the price.
How do I figure out which pet insurance I should get for my cat or dog?
Using an app called Publicity is a really good option because it will let you input your pet-specific information, and then they will generate a list of different insurances, their coverages, and costs.
How does pet insurance benefit me?
Pet insurance will benefit you in one big way: it can really help take that financial burden out of your decision-making when it comes to the care of your pet. Sometimes you're looking at bills of thousands of dollars, and that can be overwhelming. Having pet insurance will help you take that part of the decision-making process out.
What should I look for in pet insurance reviews before choosing a plan?
You should look for positive star reviews, making sure people are happy with it. You may also want to look specifically at reviews from people who have your breed of dog.
Are there differences between pet insurance for dogs and pet insurance for cats?
There really is not a big difference there as far as interspecies. Again, it would just be looking at the plan that you would like.
How do pre-existing conditions affect my pet's insurance coverage?
Pre-existing conditions are typically not going to be covered. So, say your pet has allergies and you sign them up for pet insurance after that, the allergies will likely not be covered moving forward.
When should I look for pet insurance for my pet?
We recommend starting pet insurance when your pet is a puppy or kitten, before they develop any pre-existing conditions, to ensure you have the fullest coverage possible.
