Why Buy Pet Insurance, Why It Is A Good Idea

Posted by Pet Vet Speaks on Aug 5, 2009 in pet care | Subscribe

If you own pets, then you know that animals are just like humans. All of us need medical attention from time to time. Just as you carry insurance on the other members of your household, you need to invest in insurance for your pet. Here are several reasons why you should buy pet insurance.

When we think of insurance for ourselves, we think of making sure we have coverage in the event that a health issue requires extended attention and care. Pet insurance provides the same level of security when it comes to our pets. Many pet owners care deeply for their animals, and have no desire to see them suffer. Insurance for your pet is one way you can make sure that even if your animal has a major medical emergency, you will be able to make sure your pet has the best of care.

Along with alleviating the concern of what you would do if your pet surgery or long term care, there is also the matter of preventive maintenance. A number of plans these days now allow for a certain number of office visits and provide full coverage for a few annual procedures for your pet. As an example, you may find that a good policy will include one teeth cleaning session per year for your dog. This may not seem like a lot, until you consider that before a dog’s teeth may be cleaned, the veterinarian must test for liver problems, which means your pet will have to go under anesthesia. In short, a teeth-cleaning session can cost a few hundred dollars. This alone can make the cost when you buy pet insurance on an annual basis begin to look very reasonable.


Medications are another potential expense that you may face someday with your pet. By having a good insurance policy, you will have access to a deductible that will help greatly with any ongoing medication your pet has to take. In some cases, there may not be a deductible to meet at all, but instead a co-payment of a few dollars on each prescription. Either way, you will immediately save a lot of money on medications, should your animal require them for an extended period of time.

Our pets are often the source of a lot of good things in our lives. They keep us from feeling lonely and often are able to cheer us up after a hard day. Insurance is one way we can show how much we love out animals, and ensure they live long and healthy lives. If you have not considered if you need to buy pet insurance before now, speak with your vet about coverage that is currently accepted through his or her office, and compare a couple of plans. You will be glad you did.

    Is business insurance a good idea for a small design company?
    I have a small design company (sub-s; only two employees, me and my partner) and I keep hearing from friends/colleagues that getting business insurance is a must, since we might be liable for a lot of weird issues (websites being hacked, bad printing, bad contracts, etc.)

    So is it really a good idea to get and if so, where do I go to begin? costs? issues? etc?

    I sell insurance and the answer is yes you need it, it is to protect you your business agianst acts of nature not under your control…..like, flooding, freeway construction (customers not being able to get to your business). Its is a must for any business owner. You will have to call your agent a get a quote and he or she will work out the specifics with you. Premiums are collected first in a down payment and will be annually. Your agent will alos be able to go over the limits or coverage amounts with you.

    I run a small Graphic Design Company and recently had the pleasure of searching for some business insurance.

    The only insurance that’s compulsary by law is employers liability, but it’s normally a good idea to cover all aspects of the business. I bought a package which includes Public Liability, Employers Liability, Contents, Legal Cover and all other sorts of things.

    I phoned around various companies and found the process quite mind numbing – some companies take days to get back to you. I eventually purchased an Office Package with Endsleigh Insurance as they managed to give me a good price there and then. I initially went on their website but had to ask a few questions so called and spoke to a lad who was really helpful.

    I paid £330 but I suppose the price will depend on what you want to cover.

    Yes, insurance for any company dealing with the public is always needed. You never know who will try to screw you over, always cover your butt!
