Buying Pet Health Insurance For Cat Or Dog Peace Of Mind

Cats are a very individual minded animal. In other words, cats do for cats and are not mentally hardwired to follow a leader in the same manner that a dog will. That is why a cat will probably want to forgo the need to acquire proper cat insurance. Now, while cats are notoriously single-minded, human beings should know better. Human owners who love their cats should go the extra length and acquire the proper pet health insurance for cat so as to provide a financial blanket to cover a major procedure in case a pet cat requires such help.

Some may not see the need for cat insurance if the cat is an indoors cat. After all, all the major problems that a pet cat could face derive from an unfortunate incident that might occur outside the safety of the cat's (well, your) home. Unfortunately, common things such as aging can result in medical and dental problems that can prove virtually catastrophic. And remember, such events can occur without any trauma presented to the animal or in conjunction with any out or normal circumstance.

It is not uncommon for a cat to develop bad breath. Sometimes, the halitosis will be so severe that the cat's owner decides to take the pet to the vet to have a little dental cleaning performed. It shouldn't be that big of a problem, should it? After all, a little dental cleaning certainly won't cost that much. Well, if all that is required is a little dental cleaning, then there will not be much of a cost.

But what happens if the cat has developed a severe cavity that needs to be pulled? What it there are two or three cavities? What if there is the presence of gum disease that may lead to a life threatening infection? What if a blood test is required in order to gauge the severity of the potential infection? All of a sudden, a visit to the vet has expanded into a major procedure that can cost upwards of 0. Pet health insurance for cat is the answer.

If that cautionary tale did not provide proper impetus for motivation to purchasing proper cat insurance, nothing will.

The common thread behind of these cautionary tales is the moral of the story: accidents and problems can occur at any time.

Pet Insurance - Which Pets Cannot Get Coverage?

Do you have a pet that can't get health insurance? There are several reasons this might be the case:

  • You may have a breed of pet that the pet insurance company won't cover. There are very few breeds that are not eligible for coverage, so this won't disqualify many pets from being covered by health insurance. Most of the time, the breed restriction is because certain breeds are known to have a lot of health problems.
  • Your pet is too young or too old for coverage. Most companies cover pets over 7 or 8 weeks of age. Some companies will cover pets any age. Some companies will insure older pets up to 12 or 14 years old. Other companies will not cover pets over 6, 8 or 10 years old.
  • Your pet may have pre-existing conditions that preclude coverage for illnesses. The conditions that fall in this category are serious and/or chronic illnesses e.g. cancer, diabetes, Cushings Disease, etc. In these situations, the insurance company knows that these diseases require not only treatment, but frequent monitoring for possibly several years costing you and subsequently them a lot of money.

Sometimes older pets and those with pre-existing conditions, while not eligible for illness coverage will be eligible for the company's accident-only coverage. There are usually no age or illness restrictions to qualify for this coverage. Of course, to get the broadest coverage for your pet, coverage for both accidents and illnesses is preferable. Therefore, you should get pet insurance while your pet is young, preferably as a puppy or kitten, before any problems occur that could be considered pre-existing and so that age won't be an issue.

Only one company will insure exotic pets at this time.

The best way to determine if your pet is eligible for coverage is to go to each company's website and get a quote. You will be given a quote for each policy the company offers for which your pet qualifies for coverage.
