Why do pets need insurance?

Each year 1 in 3 cats and dogs fall ill or are injured - that’s more than 4.5 million cats and dogs. There is no animal NHS and the average
emergency visit to the vet will set you back around £300. So if your pet was to have an accident or need emergency medical treatment it could
end up costing you hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds.Take a look below at some of the most common reasons for going to see a vet:
Some of the main reasons for making an unexpected trip to the vet include:
1. Cuts/lacerations
2. Lameness
3. Road traffic accident
4. A growth
5. Abscess
6. Bites
7. Foreign body (swallowed)
8. Pyrexia/anorexia of unknown origin
9. Gastro-enteritis
10. Ear infection
Pet insurance would cover all of these common conditions. And it doesn’t have to be
expensive either. Pet cover is becoming increasingly essential as the cost of vets’ bills
continues to rise.Technological advancements in veterinary medicine have meant that vets
are able to provide more comprehensive treatments and this has caused bills to rise steadily.
Yet insurance itself can start from just a few pounds a month, enabling you to avoid most of
these unexpected costs, whenever they arise
