Get accident and illness protection for your furry friends with pet insurance

Do you need it? No.

You also don’t need medical insurance…..but you have it anyway, right?

If you’ve owned your pet for any amount of time, you know how easily they can get themselves into trouble, especially if they are still very young. And as they grow older, you can only imagine the types of accidents or illness that may happen. Sometimes these can cost thousands in medical and further care.

So if the potential of uncovered medical expenses could create a financial burden for you, then you definitely want to consider it.

Possibly. Most pet insurance policies cover cats and dogs as they are the most expensive to treat, but some insurance companies offer coverage for birds, reptiles and other pets. At Berry Insurance, we offer policies only for our 4-legged cat and dog friends.

Pet insurance is relatively affordable, but the cost does depend on the breed, age, size, location, indoor/outdoor exposure, and coverages selected. Generally, the younger your pet is, the more affordable the policy will be. A good estimate would be about $50-$75 per month.

You will be responsible for payment of your pet’s treatment. Once paid, you can submit your veterinary bills and paperwork to your insurance company for reimbursement, based on your coverages, deductibles and reimbursement percentage chosen.

Your insurance company may request additional paperwork from your veterinarian directly, and there may be a waiting period, typically a few days, before you will be reimbursed.
