Extending health insurance for pets

dog-and-cat-31Yesterday, we discussed health insurance for our pets. Today we are going to continue with this subject. The primary purpose of health insurance is to cover the unexpected like accidents and illnesses.  Pet owners can also opt to extend their coverage to include annual exams, vaccinations and neutering.  These are procedures that are meant to prevent rather than cure problems down the road.  Keep in mind that preventable diseases are only covered if you follow your vet’s advice. For example, if you follow your vets advice and vaccinate your dog against  Lyme disease  and he develops this disease anyway, it would be covered under the pets health insurance policy. In such cases, prevention can save you lots of money. So you can buy your dog another dog toy with the money that you just saved!
