North Bay Animal Hospital
Why should I consider pet insurance?
You never know when an accident or illness may be a health issue for your pet and an unexpected expense for you. If you have purchased pet insurance, you can be comforted by the fact that finding a way to finance your pet’s urgent health care will not have to be a factor when making health care decisions for your pet. Many plans also offer full or subsidized preventive care such as annual vaccination, seasonal parasite prevention and dental care. Most plans have a minimal deductible payment for each health incident but every plan is different so read the plan coverage carefully before you commit to a monthly payment.
How can I decide which plan is best for me?
Most pet insurance companies have an easily accessible web site for you to use to explore their varied insurance policy options. Ask us for a list of the most popular pet insurance companies in Canada.
What pet insurance plan does North Bay Animal Hospital recommend?
Although every insurance company has it’s own unique policy options, most of our clients use Trupanion or OVMA pet insurance. Both are well-established pet insurance companies with a good range of policy options for every need with competitive pricing. Their claim forms are easy to fill out and they reimburse their clients quickly. Please feel free to ask us for one of their brochures or check out their web sites.
All pet insurance polices require that the owner pay the veterinary bill personally and then submit the claim form to the insurance company with a copy of the paid invoice for reimbursement. We can usually provide the necessary claim form at the time of the veterinary service in order to make the process as easy as possible for the client.
