No one likes to think about a beloved pet getting hurt or sick, but it can happen anytime.
Pets are typically curious, active, and often quite fearless, so itʹs difficult to protect them from all dangers all of the time. Pets also get sick, just like people do. In fact, every year about 6 million dogs and 6 million cats are diagnosed with cancer in the US (American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2005). Thatʹs where pet insurance comes in.
By covering your pet, you can make sure that youʹll be able to afford the medical care he or she needs. After all, when your pet is hurt or sick, you have enough to worry about without having to think about how youʹre going to pay for treatment.
