With the cost of pet healthcare skyrocketing like everything else these days, many pet parents are put in the difficult situation of having to cut corners on pet healthcare and some are even driven to "economic euthanasia," meaning they're opting to end their pets lives rather than provide treatment because they can't afford it.
The one solution to both of these problems is simple: Pet Insurance.
Join me, your host Amy Castro, as I sit down with Kristin Lynch, the executive director of the North American Pet Health Insurance Association, to unravel the complexities of pet insurance and its vital role in preventing economic euthanasia. Kristen and I discuss:
What pet insurance is
What types of pet insurance exist and what they do and don't cover
How having insurance can help keep your pet healthy and offset the costs of lifesaving treatment
Why pet parents should look at pet insurance as a necessary monthly expense, even if it means giving up that morning take-out coffee
How your pet's species, breed, and age impact the cost of insurance
Why it's important to get pet insurance early in your pet's life
How you can research pet insurance companies to pick the one that's right for you
And more!
If you've been on the fence about pet insurance or you're feeling lost in the sea of information, this conversation is for you. Tune in as we equip you with the knowledge to make a well-informed decision about your pet's insurance coverage. Don't let the unforeseen derail you; be ready, be prepared with pet insurance.
