Compare Dog Insurance Carefully

Compare Dog Insurance Carefully

Compare dog insurance plans carefully. You almost need to be a forensic accountant to detect the subtleties between different policies. If your dog has a pre-existing medical condition, make sure this is not excluded under the policy. It doesn’t make sense to buy a policy that won’t pay.

Check to see if your insurer excludes or charges a higher premium for your breed.
Review any age limits for coverage. Some insurers start coverage right away, while others require the pet to be 8 weeks old. Some plans don’t cover pets over 8 years old while other have no age limit.

Make sure you understand what you are purchasing. Some policies cover only accidents. Most policies cover accidents & illnesses, while others offer comprehensive coverage, including preventive care (checkups, vaccinations, neutering, etc.) along with accident and illness coverage.

Review the deductibles, co-pays and caps on coverage.

Some insurers will pay 80% of the costs for treating your pet’s illness, while others will pay 100%. Make sure you select an insurer that provides the coverage you need.
