Pet Insurance 

Now more than ever, our pets are the centre of the family. As pet owners, we are familiar with the change in family dynamics when our four legged family members become sick.  Too often as a veterinarian, my patients are unable to receive optimal treatment for their illness due to financial constraints - and too often this can be a question of their survival.
 
Pet insurance not only allows piece of mind for potential emergency situations but can help with more routine wellness procedures such as dental treatments and wellness visits.  As a European, I have worked in a country where 30% of pet owners have insurance.  In North America, only 3% of owners have policies. I have first hand seen the benefits to pets and their families on having coverage.
 
As a veterinarian I advocate pet insurance and encourage owners to look into covering their pets.  However, when looking for a policy, there are questions that you should ask as a lot of them do not work in the same way as human health policy.  The following web site outlines some of the concerns pet owners should have:
