How Pet Insurance Helps Veterinarians
One of the largest challenges facing veterinarians is getting pet parents to follow through on recommendations for pet care. Pet insurance may be a good solution. More importantly, clients with pet insurance are more likely to accept recommended treatment plans and not be restricted by the cost of care.
The American Veterinary Medical Association approves the concept of pet insurance, asserting that speaking with clients about pet health insurance may be a way to help improve patient care, and even increase patient visits. In fact, pet parents who have pet health insurance spend more in veterinary care each year than those without.1
To support pet health professionals, MetLife Pet Insurance spoke with veterinarians. They indicated a belief in the benefits of pet insurance, but expressed the need for more resources to educate their clients. MetLife is striving to make learning about pet insurance simple by offering free marketing materials including brochures, posters and health & wellness printouts mailed directly to your office. We are also available to answer your questions via our dedicated veterinary support phone line and live chat.
