What Sort of Dog Insurance is Best?
Dog insurance is now obtainable through a multitude of specialty companies and just as with your average health insurance plan, the higher the premium, the greater the range of benefits you and your dog receive. The average dog insurance plan costs anywhere from $20 – $40 per month and has either no annual benefit limit at all or a limit of approximately $15,000 – $20,000. Many plans offer discounts for coverage of multiple pets. Your deductible will be decided by the plan you choose, but the average is approximately $100 per year. Since the majority of the medical expenses generated by a dog are related to routine procedures, look for a plan that covers vaccinations, neutering and spaying, annual check-ups and dental care. You want your dog to be protected in case he develops a serious illness or injury, but these lower-budget procedures can also work out quite expensive. Make sure your pet is covered!
