Make
sure that you take out Pet Insurance when you get a new pet
Released
1st March 2008
Summary:
Many people will get a pet and completely forget the take
out insurance cover as Philip Suter of jml Insurance did.
It has been a very costly experience and the costs are going
to mount up over the next few years
This
is the advice from Philip
Suter of jml
Insurance who has paid the high price of not insuring
his dog.
In
September 2005 he and his wife adopted a rescue dog. The dog
had been inoculated to date, was chipped with an identity
chip and was a healthy young animal about 16 months old.
They
had her spayed and even obtained a "pet
passport" for her, (these veterinary costs
would not have been covered by insurance) however in the summer
of 2006 she started behaving strangely and then had difficulty
eating because her gums were bleeding. The dog was diagnosed
as having Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura .
Fortunately
the dog is able to maintain a good quality of life and is
on steroids for the rest of her life. She has to have regular
blood tests and can suddenly become very ill quickly and on
the last occasion this happened a 24 hour stay at the vets
when she was on a drip cost over £240. To date the treatment
for the dog has cost over £2,500!
Philip
said that "they decided to still take out pet insurance late
in 2006 as although no insurance company would cover her for
the ongoing medical condition she could have an accident or
another medical complaint that would be covered". They are
paying £15 a month with a pet insurance provider and of course
had the dog been insured from she first moved into her new
home, it would have saved a lot of money.
It
really makes financial sense to insure your pet and a lot
of people forget to do this and the animal is involved in
an accident or develops ill health and as stated on the
jml Insurance website
"There is no National Health for Animals"
