It would seem that with the rise of pet food and the growth of the pet food industry, more and more people are interested in buying and/or researching pet food. We can even argue that there are pet food producers ready and willing to offer pet food products. What doesn’t help is that some people are turning to these products for their dogs and cats.
The problem is that to give your dog or cat a good high-quality, healthy diet, you need to know your dog or cat’s nutrition needs and the nutrients and vitamins your dog or cat may need. You also need to know which is best for your dog or cat. Unfortunately, for a lot of people pet food is out of reach because they dont know where to go to get it.
I know a lot of pet-owners struggle to make ends meet. I have one friend who is constantly on a budget and one who has recently had to find a way to do so, but I don’t know anyone who can say “this is all I can afford” on a regular basis. I’ve heard of many people having to live on the “breadline,” but the word that usually comes to mind to describe this situation is “lousy.
While I don’t have any pets myself, I have a cat and a dog, and I have friends who have pets. If you’re going to take care of your pets, you need to make sure you’re making a bit of a dent in the budget. There are a lot of people out there making decent financial decisions, but they are on a tight budget.
Pet lovers are often left with a dilemma in that they are either saving for their pets to have health insurance or not. The one thing that is always a given in almost every discussion is that pets cost money. In most cases the cost is not included in the owner’s pay check, so getting an affordable pet is the best way to spend any money. Most pet insurance plans have coverage for pets under $500.
The pet insurance plan I’ve used for years is the American Pet Products Association (APPA) Pet Protection Plan. It covers all of my pets, except the ones I bought myself, and it has a discount rate of 24% discount for the first year, 28% for 2 years, and 32% for 3 years. It’s a great deal (especially if you’re saving for your pet) and it’s worth keeping in mind when you’re shopping for pet insurance.
At Petplan we have a variety of pet insurance plans available. Ive had a lot of pets lately, so I’m sure you can imagine the types of policies that could be included.
Petplan also covers house pets and farm animals. Not only does it cover them, but its also a good plan for those of us that have dogs, cats, birds, etc.
They also cover those of us that have a pet on a trip with other travelers.
Of course, pet insurance is not a plan that you need to put your money into unless your pets are special. The thing is, you only need to put money into your pet insurance after youve had to claim your pet. Not only does that mean that your insurance is based on your past behavior, but it also gives you peace of mind knowing that your pet is safe in your care.
