Pet Insurance

Why RMGDRI highly recommends pet insurance.

More than one in three pets will need emergency veterinary treatment every year. Two out of every three pets will experience a

significant health problem during their lifetime. Costs associated with your pet's health can quickly spiral into thousands of dollars - are

you financially prepared for your pet’s future healthcare costs?

In the unfortunate event that your pet becomes ill or is hurt you will need to take them to your veterinarian. Your veterinarian is a highly

skilled expert who has access to all the latest medical developments to work to bring your pet back to health. However this expertise

comes with a cost attached (see accompanying table). The average cost of bloat or TPLO surgery without pet insurance is $3000-

$5000 while the average cost of monthly insurance premium is $25-50. Pet insurance offers pet owners a method of budgeting for the

unexpected through a series of affordable monthly payments.

Pet insurance is a product that offers pet owners the opportunity to manage the unknown financial risk associated with their pet’s future

healthcare costs through the payment of a simple, affordable monthly/annual payment (premium). Pet Insurance gives you the peace of

mind that goes with the knowledge that you can afford to provide your pet with the best veterinary care available at all times.
