Protection for Pets

Forbes Advisor Reports

For information on protection for pets I found a great article and review by Forbes Advisor on pet insurance carriers dated May 2021. It shows why they picked the particular company and what percentage points are based on. They even go on to give tips on how to pick your insurance coverage depending on your needs, situation, and type of pet. For instance, cats tend to be less expensive than dogs. Birds and small animals take less dollars to cover than cats. And, age is taken into account as well.

Forbes reports that the editor for this insurance review article has been working in the insurance industry since 2007. Fourteen years of experience is certainly worthwhile in sharing knowledge about his particular field of work.

Be sure to check out Forbes “Pros” and “Cons” for each insurance company and their reasons for picking the particular company too. For even more detailed information I have included a link to each of the first six company sites. You might see some info of interest on their individual sites.

We all know too well how expensive our veterinarian costs can be. Some coverage is probably better than none for accidents and wellness, possibly increasing coverage for our aging pets. My pet budgie caught the flu and it cost $400 just for one weekend of care. And, my little aging dog was getting treatment every week at the tune of $200 per week. And that is just the tip of the iceberg regarding costs incurred by many. So see below to decide on your best pet protection and, hopefully, save yourself some dollars as well as your pet.
