Looking back at 2023, chances are good that you may have
been able to save more money or spend more wisely than you did. You also may
have been able to better protect your finances. But with a new year comes new
financial promises and a chance to boost your financial security.
With so many insurance products on the market, however, it
can become complicated to determine which is valuable and which just may appear
to be. For pet owners, in particular, an insurance policy for their cat or dog
can pay dividends both now and into the future. For it to be valuable, however,
owners should familiarize themselves with ways to secure the very best pet
insurance in 2024.
How to get the best pet insurance in 2024
Here are three smart and effective ways to get the best pet
insurance in 2024.
Shop around
The pet insurance market is competitive and multiple
companies would be happy to have your business. So don't sign up with the first
provider you get a quote from. Instead, shop around and compare policies, rates
and any additional benefits you may be able to secure.
By doing so you'll improve your chances of getting
comprehensive and reasonably priced insurance. Just be sure to complete an
accurate comparison by getting quotes for a pet of the same breed, size and age
so that you can determine which company is best for you and your furry friend.
Speak to your veterinarian!
Your veterinarian is well-versed with your pet and their
medical history. It makes sense, then, to use that expertise and familiarity
when building a pet insurance policy for your pet. By speaking to your
veterinarian at your next visit you'll better be able to tailor your policy to
what your dog or cat needs to know — or will likely need in the future. And, by
customizing your policy with your veterinarian's input, you'll reduce your
chances of paying for coverage you don't need or won't use.
Apply early.
Pet insurance will only become more expensive and less
comprehensive if you wait to apply later in your pet's life. So don't make that
mistake. Instead, apply now while your pet is as young as they ever will be and
you'll boost your odds of getting better coverage.
As your pet ages, they'll be considered riskier to insure,
and that risk will be passed on to you in the form of higher monthly premiums.
By acting swiftly, you'll also be more likely to secure robust coverage.
If you wait, and your pet develops pre-existing medical
conditions, coverage will be denied for those ailments, thus being less
beneficial for your pet's needs — and your wallet. But by acting before that
occurs, you'll be able to secure comprehensive (and affordable) insurance.
The bottom line
A new calendar year provides a new start for many, including
pet owners, and 2024 could be the year to boost your financial security and
your pet's well-being with a pet insurance plan. To get the best coverage,
however, owners should first shop around to compare prices and policies. They
should also consult their veterinarian to better tailor a prospective policy to
the pet in question — and they shouldn't wait until their pet gets sick to
apply. By applying for a policy right away, they'll greatly boost their chances
of securing cost-effective and comprehensive pet insurance coverage, both for
2024 and the years to come.
