Pet Health Insurance? Do you need it?

September 13, 2007

Our pets are living longer and healthier lives these days because of the many new advances and treatments that have been developed over the years for our pets — however, they are prone to develop problems simply because they are older (just as is true with people).    

Some of the problems you may notice could include some of the following: eye problems such as dry eye (which means decreased tear production), cataracts, and glaucoma;  if your dog no longer comes when called (assuming he used to!) or if he is easily startled could mean hearing loss problems (maybe hand signals would help); if your pet suddenly stops wanting to eat it could mean some kind of problem with his teeth or gums; you might also want to cut back on the amount of water given to the animal at nite if he seems reluctant or unwilling to go on as many walks as he used to.

Pet health insurance could help you avoid an expensive operation or even worse have to make the decision as to whether or not you can afford something required to keep your pet healthy and happy, especially as many new treatments have become available in the past few years.
