In my experience as a practicing veterinarian for 35 years, I’ve found that pet insurance is one of the best investments a pet owner can make for their pet. Almost every pet will suffer a severe and costly injury or illness in his or her lifetime, and not many people have $10,000 lying around in case of an accident. Pet insurance means that a pet owner will never have to choose between optimal care for a pet and finding a way to pay for it.

Cats and kittens are commonly mistaken for being feral, meaning they have returned to their ‘wild’ instincts intended for survival, when they are actually only frightened and could thrive as a pet in a positive environment. Because of this misconception, it is vital to observe the animal’s behavior before determining how tame or feral the cat or kitten is.

As a veterinarian for 35 years, I’ve learned that almost every pet suffers a severe injury or illness in their lifetime, and few people have hundreds or thousands it might take to cover the cost. Pet insurance is one of the best investments a pet owner can make because it means never having to deny optimal care.

Introducing a new pet to a household that already has animals can be challenging. To best prepare as a pet owner, it is important to do research and plan for the specific situation your animals will be in during their adjustment.
