Does Pet Insurance
Make Sense?
Here's A Vet's
Perspective
Many pet owners are torn between enrolling in pet insurance
or setting aside a little money each month into a pet-
emergency savings fund.
Pawlicy Advisor, a leading independent
pet insurance marketplace, released a
veterinarian's perspective on "Is pet
Insurance worth it," aiming to educate pet
owners who want to be able to afford to do
what's best for their pet.
"Regular veterinary care, wellness visits, and vaccines aren't what
you need to be concerned with when it comes to your pet's
healthcare costs..."

unexpected emergencies and
surgeries," - Dr. Hodges, DVM.

Getting reimbursed up to 90%
of a vet bill can be a literal life-
saver.
Pet insurance will work at any vet clinic and animal hospital
in the USA.
With the right coverage plan, you
can provide your pet with
diagnostics, treatments, and
medications without serious
financial risk.
