We as people are used to paying our monthly bills, sometimes including our health insurance, in case we get sick. These health insurance policies can save us hundreds of thousands, and in some countries, it is a true necessity.
But what about our dogs? Should we also be extremely concerned about medical coverage for them too? I mean, they also get sick and may get unexpectedly hurt!
There is no definitive answer to this question, and pet health insurance is a complex topic to try unravel. While some insurance policies cover procedures and vet visits, most of them require the upfront payment and reimburse you at a later stage. Depending on your financial situation, this might not be an option for you. Other policies only cover partial costs, leaving you with bills regardless of your payments.
More expensive policies tend to cover most medical costs, but is the money really worth spending when your dog barely gets sick? The answer to all these scenarios is dependent on your financial situation. If you are considering pet medical insurance, make sure to delve into the fine print of the policy and gain a comprehensive understanding of what exactly is covered.
For some of us, putting money away for emergencies is a more suitable financial option. For others, pet insurance is an option. Either way, if we do consider them, we need to make sure we are fully informed on what we can expect should the day come that we need to make use of them.
