Is pet insurance good value for money?

We think the answer to that question is a resounding ‘yes’. 

Paying a monthly premium to be safe in the knowledge that you can afford treatment for your beloved pet in the event of an accident or illness is a no-brainer. 

Say you get a vet bill for $3,000. With pet insurance, you’ll have to pay something towards that, depending what deductible and reimbursement options you’ve chosen, but your plan will still cover a large slice of that. Without pet insurance, you’ll have to pay the whole amount. 

And vet bills are going up and up every year…

  • An X-ray can easily cost $250
  • Knee surgery often tops $5,000
  • Cancer treatment is usually $10,000+
