This is Jeanne Salvatore, senior vice president and consumer spokesperson at the Insurance Information Institute. What follows is a radio actuality from three written quotes from the news release on how to insure your pets.
“Pet owners today want the very best for their animals, and that includes insurance coverage to protect the financial as well as emotional investment in their pets.”
“Not that long ago, pet owners had little choice but to put their animals down when they became seriously ill, but not any more; today’s dogs and cats can receive costly procedures and treatments formerly reserved for their human companions. And increasingly, pet owners are purchasing health insurance to help pay the veterinary bills.”
“Part of being a responsible pet owner is understanding the cost of properly caring for a specific type of animal. If you can’t afford the cost of health care, proper nutrition and training, you may want to consider a different type of pet.”
