Congratulations! Enjoy this new season of love and joy with your furry family member. As a new pet parent, you’ve probably prepared for the life change already – your house is pet-proof. You’ve purchased the day-to-day supplies. Your routines are organized for feeding, pottying, and sleep. Socialization and training sessions are underway. And you’ve scheduled your pet’s first vet visit, or, if not, you’ve begun to research for a great, nearby veterinarian. But what about pet insurance?Part of the pet parent’s responsibilities include caring for your pet’s health. One of the first trips you take with your pet will be to the vet. He or she will provide a thorough examination of your pet’s health, ensure all vaccinations are up-to-date, and be able to answer any of your questions related to diet, supplements, and overall health care. During your appointment, the vet will also recommend a set routine schedule for check-ups. Just like humans visit doctors on a routine basis for optimal health and prevention, our pets need to see their vet on the regular to ensure optimal health as well. This type of holistic, preventative pet care, (e.g. routine check-ups, vaccines, flea/tick/heartworm) can be covered with a <a href="https://wagmo.io/">Wagmo wellness plan</a>. But what about pet insurance? Does my pet need it? Pet insurance is important to have for our pets because it can help cover the cost of unexpected care. Those large veterinary expenses, such as medical treatments, surgeries, and prescription medications that we can’t plan for. Pets can be prone to illnesses and accidents, and the cost of treating these conditions can add up quickly. With Wagmo, you’ll actually get a plan that saves you money. Wagmo’s pet insurance plan covers unexpected illness and injuries for your cat or dog. Plans provide financial protection in case your pet should ever need medical care. For example, many first-time puppy parents may unintentionally find themselves at the vet more times that they would wish in their first year together with their new furry family member that explored the house and consumed inedible house items, e.g. the infamous sock.
