Health Insurance

Pet insurance is a health insurance policy for your pet that pays for medical expenses and sometimes other costs. Pet insurance plans are typically reimbursement-based, meaning you pay up-front for the pet’s vet bills and submit a claim to the insurance company. A few companies can pay the vet directly, which helps keep your out-of-pocket payments low.
There’s usually a deductible before coverage starts. For example, you might pay the first $500 in vet bills before the pet insurance starts to pay.
Even after your deductible is paid, the pet insurance may not pay 100% of vet bills. You can typically choose your reimbursement level. Common reimbursement options are 70%, 80% or 90% of your vet bills.

How Many Vet Visits Does a Puppy Need - Veterinary Practice News
Your Puppys next Vet visits:
1) Wellness Examinations
2) Scheduled Vaccinations
3) Unscheduled Health Concerns
Ectoparasites: These are typically called flea and tick Infestations. Your veterinarian has a variety of topical products that can be safely applied to puppies 8 weeks and older.
Spay/Neuter: If you don’t plan to breed, you can have your puppy neutered by your vet as early as 8 weeks until as late as 6 months.
Diet and weight: Ask your vet if your puppy is at a healthy weight. If he isn’t, your vet will prescribe quality food and vitamins that provide the ideal sustenance for your growing puppy. Feeding guidelines should be given to you, too.
Teething: The moment your puppy starts chewing ravenously into furniture, this is a sure sign of teething. This event erupts between 3 to 8 weeks in a puppy’s life. Your veterinarian will monitor your puppy’s permanent teeth as they come in, and treat any discomfort your puppy feels during this phase.
4)Emergencies
A lively, inquisitive little puppy can be quite a handful. So before taking your new puppy home, the first order of the day should be to puppy-proof your house. Toxic cleaning supplies should be hidden away from his reach. Small objects such as jewelry should not be out of swallowing distance. Baby gates should be secured atop staircases to prevent falls. A great deal of vet visits are due to accidents, which can be avoided if your house is puppy-safe.
So how many times do you plan to take your pet to the vet? With so many required reasons and unplanned occasions, it’s difficult to peg an exact number. The only natural thing to do is to choose a vet you and your puppy would be most comfortable having a long-lasting relationship with.
