Pet Insurance Basics
Pet insurance is like health insurance for your pet: most policies cover unexpected and expensive medical costs like accidents, emergency care, and surgery, though some also cover routine vet visits and prescriptions. Medical expenses for pets can be costly, and many pet owners do not have money set aside for a serious accident.
