People sometimes laugh at the prospect of insuring a pet as a kind of extravagance. But when you love a pet as much as most people do, an unexpected illness or accident can force you into incredibly hard situations.
For peace of mind and not a lot of money, pet insurance may be worth checking out. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
-
To enroll, puppies and kittens must be six to ten weeks old at a minimum. Many insurers cut off first-time enrollment when your pet reaches 10 to 14 years of age.
-
Pet insurance coverage varies. Some plans cover only emergencies and accidents, while other more comprehensive plans cover cancer, congenital and hereditary conditions, and other chronic diseases.
-
Most pet insurance plans don’t cover pre-existing conditions or wellness visits like annual exams or teeth cleaning.
-
Depending on your pet’s age and breed, where you live, and the level of coverage you select, the cost of pet insurance ranges from $10 to $60 per month.
-
Pet insurance plans work by reimbursing you for a percentage of the treatment costs. You choose your reimbursement level when you purchase the policy, such as 70%, 80%, or 90%.
