Veterinary Week

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Veterinary Week -- Healthy Paws Pet Insurance-the #1 customer-rated provider of insurance for dogs and cats-released the second annual Cost of Pet Health Care report, revealing how much pet parents are truly spending at the vet's office. The report employs data from roughly 200,000 claims submitted by Healthy Paws pet parents from June 2016 to June 2017, and examines the most common accidents and illnesses for cats and dogs. An in-depth look at the traditional treatments and diagnostics used per condition are included, as well as symptoms and most importantly, their overall associated costs.

"Last year we wanted to focus on veterinary innovation; this year, the report goes further into what pet parents can expect at the vet and what's covered with pet insurance," said Rob Jackson, CEO and co-founder of Healthy Paws Pet Insurance. "While most pet parents are willing to do anything to keep pets happy and healthy, they might not realize how helpful pet insurance can be in attaining this goal."

The Cost of Pet Health Care 2017 report provides detail regarding the top 10 accident and illness claims for both dogs and cats, including the symptoms for each condition, pet parents' personal stories with specific ailments and the related costs. According to the report, while veterinary science has developed at a rate similar to human medicine, the cost for such high tech healthcare for pets can be quite a burden. So while pets now have the opportunity to live longer and healthier lives, pet parents may struggle to pay the vet bills, making pet insurance an excellent choice. Furthermore, the report is free to download, so all pet parents and pet lovers can peruse the data and make informed decisions before enrolling in pet insurance.
