Pet Insurance Do’s and Dont’s – Insurance Sales

Insuring your pet is something you need to decide whether to do or not, although how to decide that is for another post. When it comes to insuring your pet there are so many options to choose from and things that have to be decided. This can be overwhelming and it can be easy to make mistakes or forget to ask pertinent questions simply because there’s so much going on you forget about it.

These are some things you should and should not do when buying pet insurance to make for an easy and effortless process.

Do Research

When it comes to getting insurance for your pet, as with anything you would buy, do some research. Find out what companies and firms offer the best deals, what they offer you and what people say about them.

Research and research until you find a few that are great matches for you and work to narrow it down from there.

Do Make A List Of Questions

As questions pop up in your head write them down and make sure you ask them. If you don’t jot down questions as they come to you there is a good chance you’ll forget them and never get around to asking them.

Sitting down and working on making a list of all the additional questions you want will make sure you know exactly what you’re getting and making the most informed decision possible.

Do Find Out About 24-Hour Emergency Line

This is something a lot of people forget about and forget to ask. Does the insurance company have a 24-hour emergency line? If not, this usually automatically will kick a company out of the running. Perhaps this isn’t a big deal for you, but you need to ask the question and do some thinking about what that means to you.

Don’t Pay For Coverage You Don’t Want

As with anything that requires sales, companies are always going to try and get you to pay for stuff that you don’t actually want or need. They’re going to make it seem like a great deal, like you absolutely have to have it, but you need to go into this knowing exactly what you need and want so you don’t get bullied into paying for things that aren’t necessary.

Don’t Assume

The worst thing you can do when it comes to your pet’s insurance is to assume things. Whether it’s assuming benefits, or assuming you’ll be reimbursed or assuming you won’t need documentation. Just don’t do it. Make sure you research and know that policy back to front. If anything’s unclear, ask.

Getting insurance for your pet can be a daunting and stressful process, but with detailed research and asking the right questions and making sure you’re knowledgeable about what you’re getting into, the process will be a lot simpler and you’ll be in total control.
