Getting a veterinary insurance policy is a smart way to deal with high veterinary costs. Hollard’s Petsure policy can provide cover for illness, accidents and routine preventative care, making it the ideal pets’ medical insurance.

Choosing the right veterinary insurance

Getting the right kind of veterinary insurance is important. It’s necessary to think about the types of accidents and illnesses that are likely to affect your pets. The right kind of coverage will mean that you save money, take care of unforeseen medical costs or prevent the need for such costs in the first place.

Your pet’s policy can, for instance, provide the cover necessary for routine preventative care. This gives your pets the best quality of life and keeps them in the best condition to fight disease.

Pets’ medical insurance benefits

Additional insurance benefits offer you further peace of mind when it comes to the well-being of your pets.

Hollard, for example, offers a free lost and found service for pet owners. The benefit allows you to choose the licensed veterinarian you are most comfortable with, country-wide, ensuring that your pets are always getting the best treatment.

You can also get a discount on covering multiple pets and a 14-day money-back guarantee if you are unhappy with your veterinary insurance cover.

What to look for when choosing pet insurance

Veterinary insurance cover needs to be able to settle claims promptly and fairly. An insurance broker with a reputation for providing assistance for the care of pets and providing pet medical insurance worldwide is always going to be the smart option when deciding on insurance for your pets.
