No one wants to get hit with large unexpected expenses. We cover our house and personal needs with house and health insurance, so what about Pet Insurance? Is Pet Insurance worth having? Let’s cover the basics and see how the math plays out.
What Type of Coverage to Get
Like human health insurance, pet insurance offers different types of coverage. Speaking with a few different Veterinarians (my father-in-law included) they all agreed that the best plan is one that covers “major medical” but not wellness visits. This means looking for a plan that helps when something big goes wrong, but knowing that you will pay for well visits, yearly shots, etc.
Typically Pet Insurance reimburses you and not the vet directly. While you can find plans that will pay for wellness needs, typically the price they reimburse will not equal what the vet charges. If you decide to get all the bells and whistles make sure you understand exactly how much they pay for items.
Things to Compare Between Policies
How do you get reimbursed?
Do they cover medical boarding? Specialists?
What about pre-existing conditions?
Are there waiting periods before you can submit your first claim?
Typical Pet Insurance Costs
The price of your Pet Insurance policy will be based on the age of your pet, the breed and any pre-exisiting conditions. The bottom line, it is much cheaper to get a policy on a younger pet!
You can get policies starting at $10 a month for younger pet up to $80+ for older pets. Play with the reimburse rate (the amount the pay you back after you meet the deductible) and the max annual reimbursement to lower rates. Read More→
Pasta sauce is great for pasta (of course!), but you can also use it in other recipes that don’t require pasta at all! This list will include both pasta dishes and non-pasta dishes.
Tip: There is usually at least one brand of pasta sauce on sale at all times! You can use the item search to find the best deal at your favorite store.
