Pet Insurance

Many families love to keep pets as they bring companionship, security and love to a home. Pets are loyal and offer great company when needed and all they ask in return is food and shelter. And hence it becomes necessary on behalf of the pet owner to provide excellent veterinary care to their pet-whether it is an emergency care or a routine check up.
Here the role of pet insurance comes to the fore. A pet insurance will pay veterinary costs when your pet gets injured in an accident or is ill. In fact there are some policies which pay out if your pets gets stolen/lost or if it dies. The main purpose of having a pet insurance is to lower the risk of incurring expenses to treat injured or ill pets.

There are basically two types of pet insurance that pet owners should seriously pay heed to-pet health insurance and pet liability insurance.

Many pet owners are opting for pet health insurance to protect themselves from the high cost of pet care.This pet insurance offers coverage for costs for medical care arising due to illness as well as the costs of routine health check-up. This type of pet insurance offers coverage for:

Immunisations and vaccinations
Pet hospitalisation
Surgeries
Prescribed medications
Laboratory Fees
Neutering and Spaying

The only reason pet liability insurance should be considered is for the fact that dogs bite. So if your pet is a dog, then buying this insurance is important. Also this insurance protects all those who are around the pet at all times. This means protecting relatives and friends from the costs arising due to a pet-related injury.
