Pet Insurance Should You Get It?

Have you ever think about it? Sometimes we just go along until it’s too late..  Your pet seems fine one minute and then all of a sudden you see something that you need to take your pet to the vet.  If you already have pet insurance you probably think no problem I have pet insurance but mostly importantly… have you paid too much? Is pet insurance worth it?

Hi, my name is Lila and this happen to me.  I had dog insurance for my precious Sandi, but did not really use it and cost me a whole lot of  money.

A recent survey by the Associated Press found that a significant number of pet owners (41 percent) are extremely or somewhat worried they could not afford the medical bills for a sick cat or dog.

Is insurance the answer?

When people ask me that question my answer is always the same: It depends. Buying pet insurance is both an economic and an emotional decision that needs to be based on your personal financial situation.

“If you get the right policy, it can be an asset to the health care of that pet and have a significant impact on the bill that results from a visit in an emergency situation.” says veterinarian Jean Maixner, co-owner of Animal Critical Care & Emergency Services in Seattle.

So “Shoud You Buy Pet Insurance“?

No, but getting pet discount plan or vet discount plan may be. 

Alternatives are Available – Pet Assure Discount Plans

I research for many weeks wondering how I can get my veterinary cost down.  I looked into coupons, promotions given by vets, discount plans, cheaper insurance plans. 

This is what I learned:

First,  there are many plans available.  I had to research all the discount plan for pets.  I finally decided on the Pet Assure.  Pet Assure was one of the best for quality, customer care and cost because you get more for your money.. the value was there.

Also, I looked to Walmart  or 1-800-PetMeds (Save money by knowing which generic pet medications are approved by the FDA – Free shipping at $49) to see if I could get my dog prescription from them.
