Recommend Pet Insurance
Recommend Pet Insurance
Pet insurance has been around for over 30 years, but many pet owners still don’t know they can get coverage for their pets. By recommending pet insurance, you’ll be introducing your clients to a valuable way to help them manage their veterinary costs. Pet insurance not only benefits your clients, it’s also good for your pet patients and your practice. For instance:
- Clients with pet insurance have 41% higher stop-treatment levels**
- Insured clients with wellness coverage spend nearly 4 times as much on veterinary care than pet owners in general.*
- On average, insured clients submit 4.81 claims per year.+
Pet insurance typically covers accidents and illnesses, but some providers like ASPCA Pet Health Insurance also offer options for wellness care treatments, including vaccines, spaying/neutering, and annual exams. Pet Insurance with wellness coverage can be a viable alternative to in-house wellness plans, especially since there are no administration headaches for your practice.
