Pet Insurance: Ensure Your Pet Is Fit & Healthy

16:37 Mon 24th May 2010 |

Being ill isn’t something we plan for, but we have to be prepared for the unexpected. Even "man’s best friend" gets ill, and they are unable to do anything about it so the task falls upon us - and it isn’t a cheap task. By insuring your pet’s health you are guaranteed to be able to afford potentially expensive medical bills.


Pay for your Pet or Vet?


We don’t mind paying out for our 4–legged furry friends, but pet owners in the UK spend a total of £94 million a week on items they need to give their pets the care and attention they need. Most of us certainly don’t need the added costs of vet bills, which can add up to a staggering amount.


With pet insurance you don’t have to worry about the cost of vet bills while also worrying about the health of your pet. If any unforeseen illness or accident occurs you are safe in the knowledge you are covered for any expense you have to pay out in an unfortunate event that something was to happen to your ‘furry friend’.


It is a known fact that the UK is a nation of pet lovers, with most households being home to a furry member of the family. This being the case our beloved pets should receive the same treatment and health care as the rest of the family, by ensuring your pets are covered for every eventuality means you have one less thing to worry about while your pets are roaming out and about.


Invest in your pet’s future:


With an estimated 1 in 3 pet owners in the UK needing to claim for vet treatment, and with the rising cost of animal medical care, pet insurance is more of a sensible investment than ever before.


Just like us our pets can also encounter life long illness which needs constant treatment or medication, so you can take out specific insurance cover to suits the exact needs of your pet to ensure they get the cover they need throughout their life.


Treatment for pets can be very expensive, and many pet owners that have no insurance and no savings face a heartbreaking decision if their pet falls seriously ill or is badly injured. Pet insurance can eliminate the need to have to make this decision, and could enable your pet to get the treatment necessary to restore its health.


In the UK alone there are around 13 million dog owners, yet only 12% of them have pet insurance. Its isn’t easy looking after our pets, and with about 40% of the costs of being a dog owner are in the area of vet bills – which means pet insurance would provide that helping hand to ensure your pets get the treatment they need and deserve.


You can quickly and easily compare a range of insurance cover online, where you will find policies from a number of providers designed to meet a wide range of needs and pockets.
