Pet Insurance and Financing
Top 5 Pet Insurance Myths:

While pet owners must be prepared to take on the financial responsibility of maintaining a pet, unexpected illnesses or accidents can take a toll on the bank account. Emergency medical procedures can be expensive! The cost of delivering procedures and treatments such as x-rays, ultrasounds, blood work, etc. for animals is comparable to human medicine. While these expenses are covered for humans, pets are not so fortunate. Pet insurance provides a sense of security for pet owners by ensuring that they will have help paying for a veterinary bill in the event that their pet needs medical care. The type of coverage you need also depends on various factors. The Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) provides information about factors to consider in choosing the type of coverage and suggests questions you may wish to ask the insurance provider. In addition to pet insurance, there are some options for financing veterinary bills as well. See below for information and links to pet insurance and financing we recommend.
