What Every Animal Lover Needs To Know About Pet Insurance
Remember those old `A dog is for life not just for
Christmas' ads? Well, I've no idea as to the long term
success of the campaign but you don't see them much these
days so maybe the message has started to get through.
Certainly the idea should be pretty common sense,
especially to animal lovers – looking after a pet means
just that, making sure you're aware of and willing to take
on the responsibility of an animal's life. This means that
when you welcome a pet into the family you should be in it
for the long haul, in many ways just as you would with a
child.

I'm sure for most loving owners, and there are plenty of
people out there who really do treat their pets as they
would a member of the family, the message clearly isn't
necessary. However much you dote on and provide for your
pet though, difficult situations can easily arise, often
due to financial reasons rather than your ability as a pet
owner.

Unfortunately having a pet can be an expensive business and
I'm not just talking about rare breed dog owners grooming
their five grand poodle for next years Crufts, Quite apart
from the day to day costs of food the real expense comes in
when, for whatever reason, a visit to the Vet becomes
necessary. When it comes to fees Vets are something of a
law unto themselves and getting an issue with your pet's
health sorted out may well be a wince inducing experience.
Take some of these examples, all fees for common conditions
- £500 for an abscess, £1,000 for the removal of a lump or
a hefty £3,000 estimated for injuries sustained in a road
accident. When you take on board the Pet Health Council's
assertion that almost half the UK's pets need veterinary
care each year it becomes clear that the cost of caring for
your pet could spiral dramatically.

It's no wonder then that more and more pet owners are
starting to see the sense in taking out a pet insurance
policy. It might seem like something it would be easy to
disregard, just another expense that might not even be
necessary; but then, as with any type of insurance, what
you`re buying is piece of mind. After all what would happen
should your pet suddenly need expensive treatment at a
point in your life when funds are hard to come by?
