Do you have pet insurance? I mean, I did not back when I was a pet owner, but that was because I did not know just how affordable it was, nor did I realize how much I would need it. And trust me, you are going to want it. Your pet is a part of the family. Why, about one third of dog owners admit that they talk to their pets on the phone or will leave messages on their answering machines while they are away for the pet.

Having pet insurance can really help when they start to get a little older and sickly. Treatments that at one time were reserved for humans, from kidney transplants to radiation therapy, are now made available for pets, but these can be really expensive. This also means that once fatal conditions are now treatable! Their prices range from about 1,000 to 5,000 dollars, but having vet pet insurance can help ease that burden.

However, some pet insurance coverage may exclude pre existing and hereditary conditions, such as hip dysplasia in retrievers and German shepherds.

Although, another thing to take into consideration is the fact that some pet insurance policies are going to pay out when your insured pet passes away, or if it gets stolen by some heartless thief.

So why not find the best pet insurance reviews? That will help make choosing a pet insurance supplier easier, because you know that the people who care enough to go online and write about it are telling you their experience straight.

Did you know that the first pet insurance policy sold in 1982 in the United States was issued to none other that the Lassie of television fame by Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI)? If Lassie had pet insurance, then why not get it for the furriest family member?
