And did I mention these are the planned expenses? We all know how curious our pets can be and sometimes it gets the better of them, leaving us with an unexpected vet bill. Pet health insurance can help pet owners manager these costs. Visit PetsPlusUs.com to learn more about how pet insurance works and to get a quote for your four-legged friend.

Also, whether you’re considering adding a furry pal to your household or already own a few, Pets Plus Us shares a few things to consider when selecting the right insurance plan:

  • Your pet’s species – Both cats and dogs need regular veterinarian care and can experience medical issues or accidents.
  • Your pet’s breed – There may be medical conditions associated with your pet’s breed. Knowing this can help you prepare for future medical needs.
  • Your financial resources – Your ability to proactively save and be diligent about keeping up aside funds for care related to illnesses and unexpected medical situations should be considered.
  • Your ability to pay for routine vet care – Consider the financial requirements to pay for the routine care your pet will need. As well, consider any previous medical issues your pet might have that may require ongoing care.
