Do I Really Need Pet Insurance?

Can you imagine being faced with the cost of catastrophic illness or accident for any member of the family? Most of us hate to consider going without health insurance for all of our family members.

Pets remain childlike forever; they are curious about everything around them, and are susceptible to injury from running, jumping and playing. Pets use their mouths like children use their hands, so swallowing objects or getting injured is common.

And though you can't predict when accidents or illnesses will happen, a Pets Best plan will help you deal with unexpected veterinary costs, and you'll know you're providing the best possible protection for your pet. Enrollment is simple, and premiums are surprisingly affordable.

Is Pet Insurance The Correct Choice?

We're pet lovers, too. We've seen what happens when a pet owner can't afford the veterinary treatment a pet so desperately needs; in the worst of cases, they may resort to putting their beloved pet to sleep. We can think of few things as truly awful, and so easily preventable.

If something happens to your pet, you should worry about your pet's health, not about how you'll pay for it. Pets Best gives you access to affordable protection against the cost of accidents, injuries, illness and even cancer.

What Makes This Smarter Than A Rainy Day Fund?

Our plans offer some of the highest per-incident reimbursement in the industry so that for each accident or illness, your pet has the best coverage available. Even if you saved $35 each month, it would take you nearly 17 years to save the $7000 - covered for each separate illness or injury under our best selling plan Pets First.

What's In It for You?

• With Pets Best you'll have superior protection for your pet at a sensible price.
• You'll choose your own veterinarian.
• You only have to pay the deductible once.

• You'll get coverage options, with higher deductibles and lower premiums.

Shouldn't I Wait Until My Puppy Or Kitten Is Older?

• Curious young dogs and cats have the highest risk of accidents because they are so inquisitive by nature.
• Puppies and kittens get into almost everything, and often swallow objects while playing.
• Because their immune systems are not fully developed, young pets are also more prone to disease from viruses and bacteria.
• Symptoms of some diseases, like kidney failure, take months or years to show themselves. Just like any form of insurance, pet policies protect you against unexpected accidents and illnesses, not those that exist before your policy takes effect. Insuring your pets at a young age helps guarantee that the majority of your pet's illnesses will be covered.

When Is A Dog Or Cat Too Old To Insure?

• We offer plans for pets of all ages.
• The older a pet gets, the greater chance it has of developing cancer, heart disease, kidney failure, and other problems of aging that we all do.
• The University of Missouri estimates that 60% of dogs over the age of 6 will be diagnosed with some form of cancer. Cancer treatments commonly cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000.
• Senior pets often require more care than their younger counterparts. You can rest easy knowing accidents and illnesses that occurs after you sign up will be covered.
