Vet bills aren’t what they used to be — and neither is the way pet parents prepare for them. With the cost of emergency care and diagnostics rising every year, many owners are turning to pet insurance as a way to protect both their pets and their wallets.
But is it really worth it? Let’s break down what pet insurance covers, how much it costs in 2024, and when it might make sense to get it.
On average, pet insurance for dogs is about $35–$70/month and for cats $15–$40/month, depending on breed, age, and location.
Premiums are lower for younger pets, so enrolling early saves you money in the long run.
If you’re someone who would struggle to cover a $2,000+ emergency vet bill, insurance could be a lifesaver — literally. Alternatively, having a pet first aid kit on hand can help bridge minor emergencies safely at home.
Do your research, read the fine print, and compare reviews before committing.
Pet insurance isn't for everyone — but for many, it brings peace of mind and financial security in those unpredictable pet parent moments. 💙
