Losing a pet is tragic, but it can be tragic for a pet to lose an owner as well. Keep in mind that some pets, such as macaws or tortoises, can have lifespans comparable to human lifespans, or even longer. And even pets that don’t live as long, like dogs and cats, can still outlive their owners. It’s not a bad idea to address pet custody in your will, just as you would plan for the care of your children. Even if you think your pet has a better chance of surviving the next ten years than you do, pet insurance is still important. <\/p>\n

What Pet Insurance Is For<\/h2>\n

Different types of pet insurance cover different things.<\/p>\n

Even if your pet is healthy now, that can change, and veterinary bills can be expensive. Some pet insurance reimburses vet care so you can just focus on your animal companion. Pet insurance may cover care for accidents and illnesses, while other types of pet insurance cover regular wellness and preventive care. Some pet insurance covers emergency care or surgery, plus x-rays and medication. In general, pet insurance will be less expensive for younger pets. <\/p>\n

Pet liability insurance can help if your pet gets loose and causes damage – like if Fido digs up your neighbor’s prize-winning begonias – or injury to someone else. Even if you think your pet may outlive you, it’s good to have insurance just in case. <\/p>\n
