What is Pet Insurance?
Pet insurance is health insurance for your pet that helps manage costs that your pet may accrue from sickness, injury, or even medications your pet may need to take on a daily basis.

What does Pet Insurance cover?
There are multiple options that owners may choose from to decide what pet insurance plan works best for their pet. Most pet insurances have different tiers that can cover anything from wellness exams to emergency situations, depending on what plan you choose. To compare different pet insurance options, you can click on the following link:

How does Pet Insurance work?
Pet insurance works differently than human health insurance. Owners must pay a monthly premium to their pets insurance, and when their pet comes in for an appointment, owners must pay the full cost of the visit at the time of service. Pet owners then submit their bill (after paid in full) to their pet insurance company. Depending on what insurance you have for your pet determines if and what percentage you will be reimbursed for your pets visit.

What Pet Insurance do we accept?
Pet Insurance is the owners responsibility. Our office simply provides any records that their pet insurance may request for an animal, otherwise it is the owners responsibility to submit any paid receipts or questions about their insurance to the pet insurance company they have chosen. So, while we do accept any pet insurance, owners must pay their bill in full at the time of service, we are only able to provide records to insurance companies.

When should I start Pet Insurance?
It is usually recommended to start pet insurance for an animal while they are still a puppy or a kitten. Many pet insurances will not cover pre-existing conditions (ie: such as allergies, dental disease, diabetes, kidney issues). If adopting an older dog or cat from a shelter with unknown history, it is best to start pet insurance right away, however owners may be limited on what coverage they are able to get for their pets.

Here are some reasons why dental health is important for your pets...

1. Preventing tooth loss. When the structures supporting an animals teeth become damaged or infected, the teeth loosen and fall out. Good dental care will ensure that those teeth-supporting structures stay healthy and keep the teeth in place.

2. Preventing bad breath. Doggie toothpaste and toothbrushes are available (such as C.E.T. toothpaste specifically made for animals, DO NOT use regular toothpaste on your pets) to help with buildup of plaque and tartar. There are also dental chews that can help aide in making your pets breath a little more tolerable.

3. Preventing oral pain. Dental disease, especially when it's severe, can be quite painful for dogs and cats. Keeping your pets teeth and gums healthy will help prevent oral pain.

4. Sometimes when the dental disease is very severe, the bacteria from the mouth can affect organs in the body such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Some breeds can be more susceptible to dental disease. If you are concerned about your pets oral health and would like to have your pet examined to see if they are in need of a dental procedure, give us a call.
