Dog Pet Insurance - Veterinary Science Has Come a Long Way Baby!

Getting your dog pet insurance is a simple and smart way of ensuring that he will never want for medical care. I remember as a kid watching the movie Old Yeller and wailing to my mother, "But how can Old Yeller have rabies mama? Didn't they get him his shots?" I was outraged to think that such a simple thing which could have saved the life of a beloved family dog had been overlooked. It is only with adult eyes that I can see how things have improved since then. Many things that used to be fatal are now treatable. Things that used to kill our beloved dogs can now be cured.

Of course the fact that cures are available does not make them cheap. Veterinary science has come a long way and animal doctors can now perform surgery on formerly inoperable tumors, correct formerly debilitating birth defects and diagnose conditions with more accuracy then ever before. The unfortunate fact is that many of these advances have come about because of improved diagnostic and surgical equipment and the cost of stocking their practices with these dynamic new tools can be prohibitive. Average vet bills have climbed in response. By getting your dog pet insurance you can help defray expensive veterinary bills and still ensure that you take advantage of all the newest techniques in health care.

As our veterinarians have learned new and improved methods of caring for the health of our animals, insurance has developed to help us manage the cost of care. Insurance works by spreading the cost of critical care across the spectrum of subscribers. The truth is, some people that purchase accident and critical care insurance will never have need of it - others may access it more than once. Insurance companies set premiums that distribute the cost so that we all can benefit. Getting dog pet insurance means you never have to worry if your dog is one that will need critical care.

Getting insurance for your dog will mean that you don't have to worry when your dog, like Old Yeller, faces down a bear, traps raccoons, controls an angry cow, fends off a pack of angry hogs, faces a rabid grey wolf or just encounters the challenge of daily life in the modern world. Getting your dog pet insurance will ensure that you never face wailing children asking "why didn't you just do what it took to keep him alive?"
