Americans know inflation has taken its toll on the cost of virtually everything, including healthcare. Unfortunately, that applies to health care for pets as well. That’s why more pet owners are looking into obtaining pet insurance to help offset rising veterinary bills. Forbes insurance experts examined leading pet insurers to determine the best value and coverage.
The criteria used to evaluate the numerous companies in the pet insurance industry included costs, ability to pay vets directly, 24/7 health lines, waiting periods for accident coverage, and overall benefits provided. Here are the top five companies picked by Forbes:
- Pets Best
- Embrace Pet Insurance
- Paw Protect
- Figo Pet Insurance
- Spot Pet Insurance
Pets Best is rated tops overall with the best price for unlimited annual coverage. It also provides a wide range of deductible choices to help with budgeting. Embrace offers a healthy pet discount if claims are under a certain limit for the first and succeeding years. Paw Protect covers behavioral therapy and alternatives like acupuncture.
Seniors with pets will welcome the help of insurance to cover unexpected bills.
Having the Means to Have a Pet Enhances Retirement
Extra retirement income will encourage seniors to have pets. That’s just one reason why Council of Seniors is convinced Congress must pass The SAVE Benefits Act. The annual Social Security cost of living adjustments (COLAs) in recent years withheld the amount of $581 from seniors, and it’s time for that money to be returned.
