15 Jul Protect Your Furry Friends: Exploring Pet Insurance
According to American Pet Products (APPA), 86.9 million, or 66% of U.S. households, own a pet. With the resources available for the safety and upkeep of pets, such as veterinarians, there should be no issue in protecting them and providing them with proper and necessary care. In times of need, it’s very helpful to have extra funds that can go straight to your animal and its needs.
What Is Pet Insurance?
Pet insurance is health insurance that offers you coverage for certain health expenses for your furry friend. These expenses could include routine check-ups or more severe veterinary procedures.
