Where do you live?
Pet insurance is a financial safety net that helps cover veterinary expenses for pets due to accidents, illnesses, and preventive care. It operates similarly to health insurance for humans, where pet owners pay monthly premiums in exchange for partial or full reimbursement of eligible medical costs. Policies vary in coverage, including emergency treatments, surgeries, medications, and wellness check-ups. Some plans exclude pre-existing conditions and specific breed-related issues. Pet insurance provides peace of mind by reducing the financial burden of unexpected vet bills, ensuring pets receive necessary medical care without overwhelming costs.
