What is pet insurance and why do you need it? | PEMCO

If you’re a pet owner, you know that your pet is a member of your family, and you’d do anything to protect them.    
  
Has your pet ever experienced an accident or sudden illness that required medical care? Not only can those situations be scary, but wondering how to pay for expensive medical bills can add a whole other layer of stress and worry.  
  
This is where pet insurance comes in.  

Peace of mind when it matters most  

Pet insurance is a type of insurance that covers the eligible medical expenses of your pet in case of an accident, illness, or injury. Pet insurance also provides peace of mind, knowing that it can help you afford the best care for your furry family member, no matter what happens.  
  
You’ve probably heard of this heartbreaking story: A pet gets sick or injured, and the cost to treat them is an insurmountable obstacle. In this scenario, owners may have to face some incredibly difficult choices (which include saying goodbye to their pet, going into debt, and others). However, with pet insurance, you can focus on your pet’s road to recovery, knowing that many of the eligible expenses will be covered.  
  
PEMCO is excited to help you protect your furry family members through our partnership with Pets Best.
