Alberta Pet Insurance

Buy The Right Alberta Pet Insurance

Before taking out Alberta pet insurance coverage, it is necessary to research pet insurance providers to make sure that you are going with the best insurance policy. The services and features offered by Alberta pet insurance providers may differ significantly. While comparing policy options, it is necessary to keep an eye on your budget and the cost of insurance.

The best Alberta pet insurance for you is a broad coverage that covers medical emergencies and unexpected events. The essence of insurance is to provide comprehensive coverage to your pet in the event of an unexpected medical condition. General wellness coverage such as preventative care that covers routine procedures like vaccination and checkups does not provide comprehensive coverage and may not be the best option for you if you are looking for broad coverage.

Make sure that the Alberta pet insurance covers the following before you choose the coverage:

• Accidents and illnesses
• Emergency care
• Prescription medication
• Hereditary, congenital and chronic conditions
• Hospitalization
• Specialist care, and
• Surgery

Pet Insurance Terms

• Co-insurance – This is the part of the claim that the insured will have to pay after taking out the deductible. If the co-insurance is 20%, it means that the insured will be responsible for 20% of the cost of the claim.
• Deductible – This is the predetermined amount of money that the insured has to pay before the insurance coverage takes effect. Deductibles may be paid per year or per claim.
• Pre-existing condition – Any critical medical condition that the pet is diagnosed with before the effective start date of the policy is referred to as a pre-existing condition. Alberta pet insurance companies do not cover pre-existing conditions.
• Breed exclusion – Some insurers may exclude certain pet breeds from their insurance policies. In other words, medical conditions related to that breed may not be covered under the policy.
