September is National Pet Insurance Month! 🐶❤️ Let's celebrate our furry family members and ensure their health is a top priority! From vet visits to unexpected accidents, pet insurance can save you from financial stress. Get coverage today for a happier, healthier pet tomorrow!
Do you have pet insurance for your pet(s)? Pet insurance may be a great option to help get paid back for large expenses at your veterinarian... but it can be tricky to find the right one for you and your pet(s). Pawlicy Advisor is a website that can compare different companies of pet insurances, based on your pet's signalment and the monthly payment/deducible you are looking for.

It is important to remember that most pet insurances will not cover any "Pre-existing conditions", meaning if you get pet insurance AFTER a pet already being diagnosed with a condition, they will not cover any treatments or exams in relation with that condition. This is why it is important to get pet insurance when you first adopt your pet. Also, most pet insurances do not pay the vet directly, or at the time of service. The pet owner has to pay the vet up front in full cost, and then submit their invoice and recipt to the insurance to get paid back.

Check out : https://www.pawlicy.com/ to find the "purrfect" pet insurance for you!🐾

Pawlicy Advisor provides free quotes, comparison charts, and help from licensed agents to get you the best pet insurance for your breed at the lowest rate.
