You would never consider going without pet health insurance for your family but what about your pet? Although many people think it is an unnecessary expense, pet health insurance for your pet can actually save you money and spare you from making a tough decision between the life of your pet and paying the bills should a serious health issue arise.
Dury Green is one of the lucky dogs. When Dury Green talks about his dog, he is talking about a member of his family“She's my beautiful baby.” She is a survivor too. After a cat attacked his 3-month-old puppy, Dury rushed her to a nearby emergency veterinary clinic. Finney, a Labrador retriever, suffered lacerations to the eye that required treatment. The attending veterinarian also discovered the puppy had a cyst on her leg, which was removed. The emergency visit and surgery are some of the reasons Dury says he’s thankful that he purchased an insurance policy for his companion in August of 2002. Finney also received emergency care when she had a severe reaction, including shock, after a spider bite. “The policy has saved me a great deal of money in emergency bills,” Dury says.
It was Dury’s regular veterinarian who first told him about the benefits of the pet insurance. He decided it was important that Finney has health coverage that not only helped pay for annual examinations and routine care, but provided up to ＄14,000 of coverage annually in the event of emergencies or critical illness.
Dury says he’s glad he took his vet’s advice and obtained health insurance when Finney was still young. He has submitted seven claims on Finney’s behalf in less than two years. Without coverage, he would have paid for Finney’s emergency visits and surgery out of pocket. The insurance makes it possible for him to provide Finney with high-quality veterinary care that Dury says he may not have been able to afford otherwise.
Dury says he values the monetary assistance of his insurance policy and the protection it offers to Finney. After seeing the benefits firsthand, he has encouraged his children and friends to purchase policies for their own pets.
The pet insurance provides Dury the peace of mind that if something bad happens to Finney, he will be able to afford the best technology, drugs, and care veterinary medicine can offer.
