If you go about buying pet insurance the right way, it can save you and your family a lot of money. If not, you could be wasting money. Here are some tips for getting the best deal:
1. Know what kind of coverage you want for your pet.
Maybe you only want routine visits covered – things like vaccinations, heartworm medicine and Frontline. Maybe you want some basic incidents covered, for example if your dog has chronic ear infections, allergies or upset stomachs. Or maybe you want to skip all the small stuff and have coverage only for medical emergencies orlong-term illnesses like cancer care or if your dog gets hit by a car. The point is, there are different options, and if you are paying for coverage you don’t need, you are not saving money. Know that with all the pet insurance companies out there, your exact needs can be met.
2. Find the best company for you.
There are probably hundreds of pet insurance companies across the country. Rather than try to look at dozens of companies, just choose a handful and get as much information as you can about them. Search their web sites, call a representative and get quotes from all of them. Adjust different parts of your coverage as needed to get lower premiums.
3. Ask about discounts for multiple pets.
Most companies offer a 10 percent discount for the second or third pet.
4. Don’t assume your older dog will get coverage.
If the only reason you want pet insurance is for an older dog, you are going to have to look harder to find a company that covers a dog once it’s over 7 years old. There are some companies out there that cover older dogs though such as 24PetWatch Pet Insurance. You just have to do your research.
