With the cost of providing health care to pets such as dogs and cats on the rise, pet owners have been opting for health insurance policies for their pets. Though the cost of taking the policy is high initially, over a period of time it will work out to be cheaper when compared with the inflating medical treatment costs. If one is spending 500 pounds in taking one’s pet to the veterinarian to get treatment, the same will cost 1000 pounds in 5 years time. But the premium that will be paid to the insurance provider will remain the same throughout the policy term. With the technological advancements being made in veterinary science, almost all treatments that are applicable for a human are now applicable for pets also. MRI scans are now used to detect any head injuries to the pet in case of any accident. Similarly costly treatments such as radiation therapies are now available for pets. Thus with the increasing cost of the pet treatments, it is more advisable for the pet owners to get pet insurance. There are different types of pet insurance plans that are available and the pet owner should perform thorough research on the internet before selecting a particular health insurance policy for their pets. As with humans pet insurance plans vary according to the age of the pet. The premium that will be paid for a younger pet will be less than the premium that will be paid for an older pet. There are 3 different types of pet insurance premiums that are available in the financial marketplace. They are the pet insurance policies with lifetime cover, policies with maximum cover and policies with limited period cover. Of these three types the lifetime policy is the most complete one that covers the entire lifespan of the pet ranging from 12 to 16 years. The premium for the life cover is on the higher side. The maximum benefits cover give the maximum coverage benefits whereas the limited period cover covers the pet only for a period of 12 months from the date of commencement of the policy. This will not be suitable for pets that have long term diseases. In these basic policies, there are certain optionals which can be added to the policy. These optionals include the fees that will be paid for the overseas medical fees and will also cover the reward amount in case the pet gets lost. There is also the option of covering for trip cancellations if the pet falls ill. Because of the various factors involved in selecting a suitable policy, the pet owners have to carefully go through the policy features, the coverage and the premiums that are being charged for the various insurances.
