Can Pet Insurance really help me afford veterinary care?

​Yes! We always recommend finding a pet insurance plan that best suits you and your pet's needs. Most pet owners often end up saving money and gaining peace of mind with pet insurance coverage. Vet bills can add up quickly and unexpectedly. Pet insurance is a great investment—and one where it pays to enroll early—because it can reduce the amount you'll need to pay the vet throughout your pet's life. We recommend searching for the best plan for you and enrolling your pet early on.

Ways to help pet owners afford veterinary care​
​

We understand that it’s a heartbreaking situation when a pet needs medical care and you're unable to provide it. This is unfortunately a common challenge for many pet owners. If you find yourself in this position, here are a few options to consider in advance

1. Credit Card: If you have access to a credit card or line of credit, this may be a viable solution to cover unexpected vet costs if you don't have immediate funds available. See if you can get approved for care credit today. 
2. Family Assistance: Pets depend on us for their care, but sometimes we need to lean on loved ones. Asking family or friends for a one-time loan (with a clear repayment plan) may be uncomfortable, but it may help bridge the financial gap.​
3. Savings: Setting up a dedicated savings account for your pet’s medical care is a proactive way to ensure you're ready for unexpected costs down the road. You can even prepay on your pets account at the vet for next visit.
4. Pet Insurance: Investing in pet insurance is one of the best ways to give yourself financial protection against high veterinary costs and provide peace of mind in emergencies. It is best to sign up for pet insurance when your pet is young. Please note that most insurances are reimbursement based.
5. Funding Options: Search online there maybe local funding programs you can apply to that can help with veterinary care costs.

   
​Lastly... If you're unable to provide the necessary medical care for your pet, it may require careful consideration of difficult options such as: A) Surrendering your pet to a shelter, rescue organization or another individual that can provide care, or B) In cases where treatment is extensive, ongoing, uncertain or if your pet is older and has a poor prognosis, consulting with your vet about humane euthanasia maybe needed. Though these decisions are never easy, they may be the most responsible and fair thing to do for your pet.

Financial stress is never easy for anyone—pet owners, pets, or veterinary staff. That’s why having a financial backup plan, can make a huge difference. With a solid plan in place, you can focus less on finances and more on being there for your pet when they need you the most.
