Montana is a wonderful place for pets and their parents. Its picturesque landscape is a great setting to enjoy wide open skies with your pup or a cozy porch night with your cat. But accidents and unexpected illnesses can happen anywhere. If your furry companion gets sick or hurt, the last thing any pet parent wants to worry about is the cost to help them feel better. Consider investing in pet insurance to help offset expensive vet bills. MetLife Pet’s award-winning1 plans are designed to help you get your pet back on their feet.

Why Pet Insurance May Be a Good Idea if You Live in Montana
Montana’s diverse landscape and wildlife make it a wonderland for you and your pet to explore. But those same features can put your furry family at risk. Montana is no stranger to wildfires, winter storms, and earthquakes — all of which could injure even the most safeguarded pet.2 Likewise, several predators roam the rugged wilderness, including bison and wolves. Montana is also home to ticks, which can spread Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever.3
It’s important to take precautions to keep your pets safe. One of these preventative measures can be enrolling in a pet insurance policy. With customizable coverage to fit your lifestyle, you can focus on getting your pet the care they need instead of the cost of vet bills.
