Pet Health Insurance
In the unfortunate event your pet becomes ill or hurt, pet health insurance can help contribute to unexpected veterinary expenses. When looking for pet health insurance, check out several plans. Some offer basic coverage for routine care, others offer emergency coverage and nothing else. Some plans offers routine care, emergency and even kennel fees. It is extremely important to read the fine print when choosing a health insurance plan for your pet.
Microchip
Millions of pets become lost each year. Tragically, few are reunited with their owners. Many lost pets end up in shelters where they are adopted out to new homes or even euthanized. It is important that your dog has identification on at all times. Collars and tags are essential, but they can fall off or become damaged. Technology has made it possible to equip your pet with a microchip for permanent identification. A microchipped pet can be easily identified if found by a shelter or veterinary office. Microchipping a dog or cat is as simple as a routine injection. It is also a very safe procedure.
Microchips are required for international travel to many countries. Be sure to research your destination to determine if a special type of microchip is required.
