Just like auto, renters and homeowners insurance, pet insurance can be confusing. Understanding pet insurance and finding the best plan for you and your pet requires some homework.
MetLife Pet1 offers these tips when trying to understand pet insurance:
- Plans vary by provider, try to compare similar plans to one another. Be sure to consider the deductibles, reimbursements and per-incident limits each year.
- A licensed veterinarian is going to be your best bet when caring for your pet. In fact, most pet insurance providers require you to take your pet to a licensed veterinarian.
- There are waiting periods with each provider. The designated times will vary from policy-to-policy as well as provider-to-provider. Be sure to ask questions about the waiting period for: 1) Coverage to begin for both accident and illness; and 2) Coverage on specific accidents or illnesses to begin.
Read the plan coverage, including the exclusions, and ask questions.
Now that you have your checklist in place of general tips regarding pet insurance, think ahead of the plan benefits and options that will best suit your pet, your budget and your family. So what will be best for you?
