Learn about Edmonton Pet Insurance

Pets, just like any other animal, can fall sick and when they do, you might need help to take care of the associated medical cost. This is why you definitely need pet insurance in Edmonton. Edmonton pet insurance should cover surgery, emergency care, diagnostic tests, illnesses, accidents, hospitalization and prescription. Some plans may also cover checkups and vaccinations by offering general wellness coverage.

As a pet parent, you need to dedicate enough time to research a pet insurance company before choosing their service. You should also find out what is included in the coverage as well as the waiting periods, stipulations, limits, and exclusions. Limits might even be imposed on the benefits reimbursements and the pet’s age and breed may be considered in the coverage.

Pets are prone to chronic health conditions as they age. Genetic diseases may manifest easily in dogs from 7 to 8 years old. Most pet insurers will not cover pre-existing conditions, however, if the pet is not diagnosed with the condition before the policy’s start date, the condition will still be covered even if it shows up earlier. This is why you need to get pet insurance as soon as you can.

Buy The Right Edmonton Pet Insurance

When choosing the right coverage for your pet, it pays to go for broad coverage with few exclusions rather than a narrow one. The reason is that you don’t know when the unexpected may occur and you don’t even know the unexpected medical condition your pet may develop. With broad coverage, you will be able to protect your pet no matter the condition.

A lot of plans include wellness coverage which is preventative care that covers routine procedures like checkups and vaccinations. Although wellness coverage sounds like a great offer, they are not broad coverage and may not be great for your pet.

Always ensure that your pet insurance policy covers the following:

  • Accidents and illnesses
  • Emergency care
  • Prescription medication
  • Hereditary, congenital and chronic conditions
  • Hospitalization
  • Specialist care, and
  • Surgery
