Don’t Get Killed by High Vet Bills Pet insurance is something almost every pet owner has considered, and it can be a good investment. Example: One dog owner had to pay only $1,200 for her pet’s $6,200 surgery—a savings of $5,000 and much less than she would be paying in premiums for quite a few years. Here is how to get the best value for your money…. Start coverage while your pet is young if you can—when your pet is in good health and premiums are lower. Be sure to look for a policy that will not increase insurance premiums as your pet ages. Have the company review your pet’s medical records and tell you in writing if there are any preexisting conditions that would not be covered. Read the policy carefully—there are many variations as to what is covered and in out-of-pocket amounts and deductibles. Opt for a higher deductible to keep premiums down. Look for a policy that reimburses you within 14 days by letting you file claims and receive refunds electronically. Source: Roundup of pet-insurance experts, reported in Prevention.
