Does your pet have HEALTH INSURANCE?We recommend looking into a policy from one of the many available companies. Pet insurance can literally be a lifesaver in a surgical or medical emergency and will greatly reduce the stress and burden on your family during this time.
This is a good ARTICLE from the American Animal Hospital Association that lists several companies and does a side-by-side comparison.
Another resource for pet insurance is united pet care. Often offered through your work but also available for the individual. We accept United Pet Care and have seen a lot of happy pets and clients with this company.
