If you're considering Pet Insurance, here are three questions you should ask to find a plan that is right for you.

1) What are my deductible options?

Choosing a higher deductible will lower your monthly premium, but means your out-of-pocket costs will be higher each time your pet begins a new medical treatment. Choosing a lower deductible will increase your monthly premium, but means your out-of-pocket costs will be lower. Make sure that the pet insurance plan you choose offers you the flexibility to change plans and deductibles depending on your needs today and in the future.

2) What is covered by the plan?

Many plans reimburse pet owners for 80% of the cost of treatment after the deductible is met for illnesses, accidents, injuries and many other veterinary services. Make sure the plan allows you to visit any licensed veterinarian and provides coverage for emergency care. Find out if the plan will cover chronic illnesses such as diabetes or cancer and the specialists who treat those conditions. Consider asking about preventive care coverage, because many plans offer optional coverage for preventive measures such as annual exams, vaccinations or teeth cleanings.

3) What is excluded from the plan?

Most plans exclude the health issues that your pet has before you sign up for the policy, whether or not they were previously diagnosed or treated. These may include the congenital conditions your pet is born with or conditions that some breeds are susceptible to. Make sure the policy you choose clearly states what is and is not covered in a way that is easy to understand. And remember, buying a pet insurance plan when your dog or cat is young means they are less likely to have preexisting conditions.
