Pet Insurance – The Best Choice for your Pet!

 Being a pet parent means your day-to-day life is full of little surprises, sometimes pleasant and other times not. The next time you are faced with an unexpected vet bill, you won’t have to worry about using high-interest credit cards, borrowing money or worse because you can’t afford to pay the bill. We at Valencia Veterinary Center are on your side and have the following five reasons why pet insurance makes sense for our clients.
A staggering one in three pets will need unexpected veterinary care each year. Here are five important reasons you need to get pet insurance as soon as possible:
1. Dogs and cats get sick
Just like human children, pet children can also get sick at a moment’s notice. Common symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea can happen often for small reasons or be signs of something more serious. Dogs and cats can also develop chronic illnesses such as allergies, diabetes, and cancer that can end up costing lots of money between the regular vet visits, surgeries, medications, and tests.
2. Dogs and cats get injured and have accidents
Whether your pet is mischievous, brave, or just unlucky, accidents can happen at any time including broken bones, torn nails, lacerations, or getting hit by a car, just to list a few. Four out of five pets will experience a medical emergency in their lifetime
3. It’s the responsible thing to do!
We have health insurance, car insurance, and home-owners insurance to protect us financially against the unexpected, and pet insurance is no different. Veterinary care is rising in cost and for good reason; the care available to pets is often on par with human medical care. Moreover, when pets are part of the family, people go to extreme lengths to help their pets live long, happy and healthy lives.  Pet insurance enables you to afford your veterinarian’s recommended course of treatments for your beloved pet, without wiping you out financially.
4. Vet bills can come at unexpected times
Life is full of surprises but protecting your finances with pet insurance will ultimately help you protect your pets. Depending on the insurer you choose, you may not even need to wait for reimbursement. Valencia Veterinary Center is a Trupanion Express practice, which means your covered costs are paid directly to the hospital, with no out of pocket costs to you!
5. Savings account versus pet insurance
Purchasing an insurance plan is a great way to ensure you can afford the best veterinary care as soon as your pet needs it, rather than a savings account, which can take years to save enough to cover even just one large vet bill.
Pet insurance is truly the gift that keeps giving – to both the pet and the pet owner! Consider insuring the pets in your life, making the best veterinary care more affordable.
