by Pet Care on October 13, 2008


I can almost bet that 90% of you reading this right now did not know that you can purchase insurance for your dog. Alot of people did not know this, but its just like shopping for insurance for yourself in that you will need to shop for coverage and the best possible price.

To help you understand to points of interest associated with shopping for dog health insurance, we have a few tips which can help the selection process to become slightly easier for you.

1. Find out if the insurance company covers any pre-existing health conditions. This is very important because should your dog become ill or have an injury that stemmed from a previous condition, and the insurance company does not cover pre-existing health problems, you may be paying the expense out of your pocket.

2) You will also need to know whether the insurance carrier is actually licensed in your particular locale. Since every single area generally tends to have its own insurance regulations, making sure that the company is licensed in your area just means that they know and understand your and your dog’s rights when it comes to proper dog health coverage.

3. Find out exactly how long the insurance company has been in business and how long they have been dealing in pet insurance. Typically newer insurance companies are not as experienced and don’t have the lowest rates.

4) Be sure to ask what things that the insurance policy will not cover. This is an important part of the selection process as the last thing you or anyone would want to happen is to have to take your dog in for something just to find out that it is not covered and that you will have to pay cash for it.

Make sure you thoroughly check through the coverage that the company provides. Make sure they cover medications, CAT scans, bone scans etc. Just make sure you know what type of coverage you are receiving.

6) Finally, you will also need to know what the deductibles are that are associated with the insurance policy. It is not uncommon to find that some of the cheaper plans and premiums also will have the highest deductibles associated with them in an attempt to prevent you from thinking about even filing a claim.
