What Owners Should Know About Insurance For Pets

By Jay Beckner


A lot of people will do whatever they can to guard the welfare of their beloved animals. These people should be made aware of the tips for selecting insurance for pets that can aid them in guarding their animals' welfare. Such tips are outlined in the paragraphs below.

Not all pet policies are alike. Some are designed for basic coverage. Others only pay for accidents. Some offer advanced treatments for cancer. The differences are often confusing, so the owner should spend some time researching before buying.

Some companies offer low cost coverage but deny a lot of claims. Less expensive policies often offer the least amount of coverage. If a pet develops a catastrophic disease such as cancer, the least expensive policies often do not offer coverage.

Owners need not worry about the vet accepting a policy selected. The carriers all accept claims from any vet who is licensed. However, owners should know they must first pay the bill out of pocket. Unlike human health care, vets do not invoice carriers. Instead, the owner pays the bill and submits the claim to be reimbursed. The reimbursement process can take a few weeks.

Owners should not expect this type of coverage to pay for treatments for preexisting conditions. Pet policies fall under property coverage. They are like the auto policy that does not pay for damage that occurs before the policy is bought, so preexisting pet health conditions are not covered.

To conclude, the paragraphs above do not tell the full story of selecting insurance for pets. Nonetheless, they do provide an excellent introduction for guarding the welfare of your beloved pets. And it is worthwhile in the long run to go to the lengths that such a process demands of you.
