Your pets are an important part of the family. They’re with you from those big life moments to everyday adventures. And nothing matters more than protecting those you love.
Whether you are a new or seasoned pet owner, pet medical insurance can help you prepare for the unknown.
Pets get sick too
No matter the season, pets get sick. And sometimes more care is needed than expected. For example, if your new puppy gets into something they shouldn’t, they may need hospitalization, testing and surgery. Maybe Zazzy, your Siamese show cat, has developed a urinary blockage and he now needs surgery.
Fortunately, if you have pet medical insurance, you can help get your best friend the care they need without depleting all your savings or dipping into new lines of credit.
To fully protect your pet and your wallet, pet insurance should be purchased the day of adoption. Starting and maintaining a policy when the pet is young and healthy will ensure greater access to available benefits over their lifetime. For a pet insurance quote, ask your State Farm® agent how a Trupanion policy can help be there for your pet’s lifetime.
Extend your pet’s life expectancy
Pet medical policies can make medical treatment for cats and dogs more accessible. Pet parents are likely subject to paying the full price of their vet bill immediately upon receipt of treatment. Without assistance from a pet medical policy, diagnostic tests, medication required for chronic conditions, unexpected surgeries and hospital stays, or newly needed animal prosthetic devices and carts can quickly eat up a pet parent’s budget. This often scares pet parents from taking their pets to the vet as often as needed. It also causes them to regularly switch vets based on the price of service rather than on the quality of service received.
Pet insurance helps your pets get the care they need as often as they need it, with the vet you trust.
Pets are family
At the end of the day, you want your pets to be happy and healthy. If your pet does become sick or injured, you want to help them get the care they deserve. By researching what works for your family and planning for the unexpected, your pet can be protected when they need it most.
