As a parent to your pet, you know with certainty that life with pets is full of surprises. There are nice surprises, there are stinky surprises and there are the expensive surprises (ie: trips to the vet… need I say more?).
Here are some stats that may confirm what you as a pet parent may have felt already — that 1 out of 3 pets will need to make unexpected trips to the veterinary clinic each year. This is one of those times that both you and your wallet are going to be in shock. And there’s always high-interest credit cards OR the awkwardness of borrowing money to worry about. Or worse… being pushed to a wall to choose euthanasia either because you can’t afford the bill or your pets health condition is critical.
How would it feel not to worry about those things?
Here’s the good news: we at Perpetual Insurance can help with that. But before we continue talking about us, let’s talk about all the reasons why you should strongly get an insurance cover for your four-legged family member.
Here are five important reasons WHY you need to get pet insurance as soon as possible:
1. Your pets get sick
This may be a surprising revelation for some but pets do get sick just like us human beings. Quite a shocker isn’t it? Common symptoms like vomiting and diarrhoea can happen for small reasons or they could be signs of something serious. Cats and dogs can also develop chronic illnesses such as allergies, diabetes, and cancer which can end up costing a truckload of money between the regular vet visits, surgeries, medications, and tests.
2. Your pets could have accidents and get injuries
Your cat may have 9 lives but it doesn’t have 9 limbs. Cats and dogs run, jump, and do all other crazy stunts; accidents can happen at any time including broken bones, lacerations, or getting hit by a car. According to some claims stats, 4 out of 5 pets will experience a medical emergency in their lifetime.
3. You’d feel more responsible as a pet parent
Pet insurance is no different to life insurance, health insurance, car insurance, and contents insurance to protect us financially against the unexpected. Veterinary care is rising in cost and for good reason, the care available to pets is often on par with human medical care. And 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 be overwhelming & can come at an unexpected times
When you’re met with unexpected vet visits your kneejerk reaction can simply be to use your plastic fantastic credit card, or or awkwardly borrow from your mates, or loan from a bank or lender. Life is full of surprises but getting a pet insurance not only protects your pets but also your finances.
5. Savings vs. pet insurance
If you use your savings to pay for your pet’s healthcare it will leave you with depleted saving or no savings at all. While purchasing an insurance plan is a great way to ensure you can afford the best veterinary care as soon as your pet needs it without affecting your savings.
Pet insurance is truly a solution to give you peace of mind – both to your pet and to the pet owner’s finances and emotional health! Insure your pet and make the best veterinary care more affordable.
