Getting pet insurance for your puppy after his two-month birthday is a no-brainer. Here are just a few of the reasons why:
He’s young, healthy, and completely perfect… for now. When you bring your new puppy home from the ASPCA or the pet store, he’s as good as it gets. Problem is, he’s a puppy, which means he can get into anything (and I do mean anything) faster than you can say, “I had no idea a vet bill could cost that much!”
He’s your child’s best friend. Pet insurance for your puppy saves you from having to put down your family pet because you simply can’t afford to pay out of pocket for an unexpected surgery.
You would do it for yourself and your children. Most of us shudder at the idea of going without healthcare. The same sentiment should be applied to your pet. If you take on the responsibility of owning a puppy, you need to protect him in the same way that you protect yourself and your children.
A cheap insurance policy can be almost as costly as having no insurance policy. Make sure to read the fine print of your new pet policy carefully. Many policies offer low monthly rates in exchange for high deductibles. If you can’t afford the deductible, you aren’t protecting your puppy.
Which pet insurance is the best? I’m looking for a cheap insurance one for my 3 months old Chihuahua. Does she need one though?
you have to do research!there’s no best one. The more you are willing to spend the better the plan is. 3 months is hard to say…don’t wait until they are over 7 or 8 years old, most pet insurances don’t cover elder pets.
I know that sometimes insurance premiums can include or exclude certain things so it is best to evaluate several types of companies
Some main questions to ask..
1. Is my Pet too old to get insured
2. Can I insure my puppy?
3. Can I insure my pet if there is a Pre-existing Condition?
4. Can I take my pet to any vet?
5. Are wellness visits covered under some plans?
6. What does each incident mean when it pertains to my deductible?
7. Why do companies exclude certain illnesses or items on a policy?
Best,
Happy Dog
