Health insurance for your dog may be a good idea given how high vet bills may be, and in case your dog is accidentally hurt or falls ill, you can focus on getting the best care instead of focusing on finances.
Premiums vary based on many different factors, such as age, breed and medical history of your dog.
You can purchase insurance coverage starting at $10/month and going up to $35/month.
Matching your dog’s needs with the right insurance policy is the best way to go. Still, if your dog is not sickly, you may not need insurance at all or may opt for basic coverage that includes accidents.
Some insurance companies offer additional services that include vaccinations, dental cleaning and checkups for a monthly fee. This type of insurance covers the cost of services you pay for every time you take your dog to the vet, but for a lower overall price.
Talking to your vet before making a decision is certainly your best first step in this process.
