Choosing a Wise Health Insurance Plan for your Pet

The purchase of pet insurance is on the rise and with it comes multiple companies to choose from. You wouldn’t choose just “any” health insurance for yourself or a family without conducting a thorough research, and many of our pets are our family too. Therefore, it’s crucial to choose the best plan for your pet to receive the utmost benefits.   John North of Dayton Daily News has produced an article that features several tips and suggestions from the Better Business Bureau. Read the following guidelines to aid you in your search for the best pet insurance for you and your pet.

  • Obtain several quotes. Every plan is NOT the same.
  •  Recommendations from vets, family and friends can go along way in your determination. Word-of-mouth is the strongest referral there is.
  •  If you find the right plan, don’t put off purchasing it, because it’s not guaranteed and often difficult to ensure your pet when they’re older when they have what insurance companies consider a “pre-existing condition.”
  •  Ensure clarity of particular coverage and start date. Keep a copy of the plan for your records.
  •  Want to pay a monthly or annual fee? Make sure you know what you’re paying, and make sure you ask whether it’s automatic renewal and what cancellation procedures are involved. Deductible and co-pays may apply. Make sure you know what you’re insurance is and what you are and aren’t receiving.
  • As with all contractual, business agreements. Make sure you receive everything in writing.
  • Always keep your receipts and documentation.
