Purchasing Pet Insurance For Older Dogs
Age Matters When Considering Pet Insurance For Older Dogs!
Helpful Tips When Considering Pet Insurance
Although insurance might not be for every dog owner, with the rising cost of vet care, it's definitely worth looking into. Just remember that both age and breed do matter so read the fine print.
There are several different companies that offer pet insurance but most have a cut off age for obtaining coverage for your best friend. This cut off age can also be different based upon breed and the reason for this is that certain breeds are predisposed to particular diseases. During our research, we found that it's best to purchase pet insurance before the age of five. Reason being, five is the cut off period for certain breeds, while other breeds including mixed breed are the age of eight or nine. Over The Age LimitIf you have a dog above the age limit, you do still have an option for older pet insurance. There is a company that accepts all animals at any age and it doesn't matter if the animal has an existing illness or not. Zero exclusions, zero deductibles and you never have to wait to be reimbursed.The only catch is that your Veterinarian has to participate in the program. If he doesn't currently participate, talk with your Vet and ask her to consider it. Explain how the program allows you an automatic 25% discount at the time of service on all procedures including:
So if your pet is above the age limit for traditional pet insurance and budget is a concern, you can at least save 25% on your pets care. They offer coverage for a single pet for $99 annually or a family plan that covers four animals for $149 a year.
