For some pet owners costs can become a limiting factor in treatment. A good pet insurance policy will help to alleviate this problem and give you peace of mind.
We are not involved in selling insurance and it is entirely up to you as a pet owner to research and select the insurance that suits your needs.
At Polden Hills Veterinary Centre we endeavour to provide honest, fair, compassionate, and excellent standard of veterinary care possible. While we always try to keep the costs reasonable we appreciate that some medical care costs can be expensive. For this reason we strongly encourage pet owners to enroll in an insurance policy for their pets.
It is important to know that insurance companies will not usually insure a pet for existing conditions so insuring them while they are healthy is important.
There are many companies offering various types and levels of insurance for pets. We advise that you research the different policies and find one to suit your budget.
A good pet insurance company should pay a genuine claim promptly and with minimum fuss. Review the policy carefully to see exactly what is covered by the insurance and what is not. Be sure it covers what you need. Companies with lower cost policies may contest the cost of treatment or they could delay payment on genuine claims.
Personal recommendation is always a good start when buying a service. Ask your friends and other pet owners if they recommend their current pet insurance provider.
Veterinary surgeons generally believe in the value of pet health insurance but are not permitted to give you specific advice on which insurance company to choose. Pet Health Insurance companies can be found by searching the internet or browsing the Yellow pages. Contact the companies and ask for details of the range of policies they offer and what cover they provide.
