Policy Protects Pooches From Puppies To Adults

Dogs are amazing animalsgoing far beyond mans best friend to be mans caretaker, watchman, cheerleader, even lifesaver. Unfortunately, their lifespan is much less than that of humans; in fact, one comedian warned audiences that purchasing a puppy meant that one was buying a mini-tragedy, referring to the inevitable loss of the pet years down the road. Happily, improvements in nutrition and medicine have made it possible for dogseven large breeds--and other pets to live longer than ever before. One veterinarian reports that some of his doggy patients are pushing 20 or more. To keep pets happy and healthy for years, its important to purchase Florida dog health insurance for them.

Policies are available for puppies, older dogs, and every age in between

When it comes to selecting coverage, its possible to choose one that offers payments for the small stuff, the large stuff, or a combination of both. Some policies cover routine treatments such as office visits, examinations, teeth cleaning, spaying and neutering, lab work, and so on; these policies tend to cost more, because they cover moresomething that Melissa and her Labradoodle appreciate, because the dog often gets skin rashes that require frequent trips to the vet. Other policies offer protection for the major catastrophic eventsbroken bones, cancer or other illness. This type of coverage is exactly what Angela was looking for, because as a starving student, she couldnt afford a huge premium. But when her Chihuahua managed to get off leash at the dog park one day and dart into the street where he got hit by a car, Angelas policy covered the bulk of the cost to set her dogs leg, which sustained multiple fractures. Fortunately, the vet was able to place pins in the leg to offer more stability, just as surgeons do in human patients. Now the dog is back to dancing on his hind legs, and Angelas bank account didnt get wiped out in the process.
