Pet Health Insurance Basics

Pet insurance with Petsecure is like having health benefits for your pet. It's a unique way to ensure that whenever you need to, you can provide your pet with the very best of care.

Why would you choose to insure your pet?

As pet parents, we believe we can protect our pets from harm. Yet, if you think about it, no matter how much love and care we provide, accidents and illness are still beyond our control.

Removes financial concerns in crucial times

Being a pet parent is very rewarding; however, it also comes with responsibility and commitment. Even in tough financial times, investing in pet health insurance is a great way to keep your pet's health and your finances on track. Even more important, Petsecure give you the confidence of knowing that when you need to, you can provide your pet with the very best veterinary treatment and care - you're prepared for the unexpected.

Access the best care for your pet

Each year, there are tremendous advances in veterinary treatment. However, the cost of providing the very best care can be high. While there's no public health system in Canada for pets, with Petsecure, you always know your pets will have access to excellent medical care if they suddenly become sick, develop a serious medical condition, or suffer any injuries

Actually PetSmart in the states offer Veterinary insurance for pets. I have actually had it on my dog when she first rescued me.. lol It was cheaper to buy the insurance and use it immediately then pay for all the stuff she needed done at the time..

I did have it for at least a year or so.. Then found out I could go to my local feed store and have most of the basic care taken care of cheaper in the long run.. But actually if you buy it and take them regularly you come out good in the long run... And if they have really bad health issues it can be a life saver...

Ok thanks for that information.

I have always opted out of pet insurance perhaps I should rethink about it again.

absolutely

medical professionals can be expensive,, even the pet kind

I would absolutely have insurance to help with those potential bills

Well the reason for my dragging my feet is that usually my cat sees the vet about ones a year the kids expenses come first. Now that my cat is aging I may rethink insurance. I wanted to know others thoughts and experiences with insurance before deciding.

It never even crossed my mind. Now that its been presented to me I cant believe i havent. Those little guys would benefit.

Not sure what the insurance goes for now when I had it for my dog it was around $20 a month.. that is nothing you take them to the Vet one time to get all their shots. Which those were covered under the insurance or at least the kind I had all I had to pay was the $30 for Vet Visit and all the shots were covered... And got her chipped for $20 due to I had the insurance..

My daughter had her dog spayed for nothing but the dog had to be under a year old for it not to cost..

Just talk to them find out what all is covered and how much a month.. Then do the math if you normally only take your cat once a year then it may not pay off. Also find out about as far as age and what they cover...


I don't have it anymore... but was worth it back when I first got sassy and she had a really bad ear infection. Plus needed all her shots due to not knowing what she had or if any shots.. since she was a rescue.

Sounds like I should have had my cat insured when he was a kitten. He is 15 right now I could still give a few places a call see what they say.

I also have a rabbit but only a handful of vets look after rabbits. Both the cat and rabbit came from the humane society.

Thanks for the information
