Why bother with pet insurance?
June 25th, 2010 by Sarah. No Comments »What a question to ask. And why would you ask such a question? Let’s see. I suppose you might be thinking “what if my pet never gets sick?” This is a fair point, and i suppose that there are always those pets out there who are (excuse the pun) as fit as a butcher’s dog…
You could very well have a point, and even if your dog gets sick 5 or maybe 6 times in its life it may well cost you less than its entire lifetime in pet insurance payments. But are you prepared to take that risk? Many people who do take this risk fall prey to the huge vet bills that exist these days.
If you think that you can get away with it then you are a mistaken. The first few cases may well be cheap, but what happens if your pet needs surgery and you can’t afford it? Do you think you may have let your pet down by not being covered? In know you will have done.
But against all this there is a much heavier price to pay for having a lack of good pet insurance. What happens if the worst happens and there is an accident caused by your pet? This could cost you a fortune in lawyer’s fees in order to sort out and you could be sued for thousands of pounds. Public liability insurance comes with most pet insurance these days and it is really something that you should not look over.
Be safe and keep your pet protected.
