Southwind Animal Hospital believes in pet insurance! Time and again, we’ve seen it enable pet parents to provide critical and life-saving care for their pets, especially when the unexpected happens. Having a pet who is ill or injured is stressful enough without worrying about paying for veterinary care. With pet insurance, you can focus on returning your fur baby to good health.
Like human insurance, there are a lot of companies and plans to choose from, and it can feel overwhelming to determine the best option for you! We recommend that you take the time to research several providers and plans to find the one that best suits your needs.
Some things to consider when shopping for a pet insurance policy include:
- How much is the deductible? Is it annual, per event, or for the life of the pet?
- What percentage of the bill does the insurance cover after the deductible?
- Does the plan cover routine and preventative care?
- Does the plan cover pre-existing conditions?
- Does the plan pay your veterinarian directly, or is it a reimbursement model?
We highly recommend Trupanion, but there are many quality providers to choose from.
