According to a study by Saga Pet Insurance, 53% of cat and dog owners will buy gifts for their pets during the festive period.
If you are planning to buy your pet a Christmas present this year but don’t currently have a pet insurance policy, why not consider this as a gift option?
It sounds really boring, and it’s true that your pet can’t eat/play with/wear a pet insurance policy, but the protection it offers them may one day prove to be the best gift you ever bought your pet.
In the event your much-loved pet goes missing, some pet insurers will provide cover for a sum of money you can offer up as a reward to anyone who helps you find your pet. This sometimes also covers the cost of flyers or other advertising to get your pet home as soon as possible.
What’s more, some insurers will offer cover towards alternative treatments which can be less stressful for both you and your pet.
Plus, having pet insurance will ensure that your pet can get the care it needs when it gets sick or injured without having to put you in financial hardship.
So, before you go and splash out on toys and other gifts your pet could probably live without, consider whether a pet insurance policy would be better for them in the long run.
