Pet Insurance
Our clients and their pets are very close to our hearts. We have pets
ourselves and cherish our time with them; from relaxing with us after a long
day to just having fun in the backyard.
Caring for our own dog, Abby, gives us pleasure and we know many of you feel
the same way about your pets.
That's way we are providing this link to a pet insurance offering through
Purina Care.
Here is some information when considering insurance for your pet.
Coverage with Preventive Care or Not...
Policies can cover all the preventive care or you can choose to just
have coverage for the unexpected issues that come up. The cost of
the policy will differ depending on your decision.
For example either type of policy would cover:
| Illness |
Injuries and Accidents |
| Hospitalization |
Surgery |
| Hereditary conditions |
Diagnostics |
| Prescription Medications |
|
A preventive care policy would also cover the following:
| Vaccinations |
Annual Exams |
| Dental Scaling/ Polishing |

Coverage will be similar to a person policy
There are many similarities to your own health insurance -
Deductibles, pre-existing conditions, age factors, waiting periods for
the policy to take affect, the policy is for the intended pet and can not be
transferred, etc...
