Pet insurance (also known as pet health insurance) helps cover the cost of veterinary care if your pet becomes ill or injured. Some pet insurance plans also provide reimbursement for wellness procedures such as vaccinations, heartworm testing, and spaying/neutering. Pet insurance is similar to human health insurance in that it has: Deductibles Co-pays Maximum payouts Premiums Waiting periods No coverage for pre-existing conditions Deductible A deductible is an amount you must pay before the insurance company will start paying. There are two types of deductibles: per-incident and annual. A per-incident deductible is an amount you must pay for each new illness or injury. An annual deductible is an amount that you must pay each policy year. Co-pay A co-pay is the percentage you must pay after the deductible is met. The remaining percentage of covered expenses is paid by the insurance company. For example: if your co-pay is 20 percent, the pet insurance company will pay 80 percent of cover...

Deciphering pet insurance terms and figuring out the policy options can be tricky—you might not know where to start. Here are the top 12 things you should know about navigating the process of buying pet insurance. 1. Never buy pet insurance without doing your own research. Your pet’s health is an important investment. It’s not an impulse buy, but something you should put time into researching to make sure you get the right coverage for your pet’s age, breed, health conditions and lifestyle. Use a pet insurance comparison tool to compare policies side by side to make an informed decision. Each company’s website will also have a “Get a Quote” button that you can click to see exactly how much you would pay and what coverage limits you would have. 2. Do not pick pet insurance solely based on the cost of the monthly premium. It is very tempting to just go with the policy that offers the lowest monthly premium. And if you simply can’t budget for more than the lowest premium, then of course, ...

Are you in search of a purebred puppy? Picking the right breeder is the first and most important step. Remember, a healthy puppy is a beautiful puppy. You really want a puppy. In fact, owning a puppy is something you’ve been dreaming of ever since your evil stepmother cruelly denied you one at the age of 10. So after years of therapy, you’ve suddenly realized the cure: get yourself a puppy. Perhaps that isn’t the reason (although it does make for good dinner party conversation), but you do really want a puppy. If you've already decided against adopting a dog, choosing an ethical, reputable breeder is important. Your first task should be making a list of breeders who deals with your desired breed. Do a little research to see what their reputations are. Dog societies, friends with dogs, and vets are good sources of information. Then it's as easy as crossing off breeders with bad reviews off your list. If there are reviews, do they come with pictures and stories of the dogs as adu...

Chihuahuas are a unique breed of dog. Their small stature makes them an ideal pet for young kids and large families. They also fare well in a variety of homes, including small apartments. Beyond their size, Chihuahuas are best known for their fiery personalities. These pint-sized pups are energetic and very active. They can also be very stubborn and have the bravado of a dog five times their size. While their big personalities can make them a joy to be around, it can also lead to some unusual issues that you don't normally experience with other breeds. Chihuahuas are notorious for their picky appetites. Unlike other dogs that will scarf down anything you place in front of them, these pups are a bit more selective. It's not uncommon for Chihuahuas to refuse a meal just because they don't like the taste. So this bears the questions: What exactly do Chihuahuas like to eat? Picky Palates There are a number of reasons why your dog may not enjoy the food they're eating. The s...
