Your four-legged friends are more than just pets. They are a part of your family. Just like humans, animals can become sick, injured, and need emergency visits to your local veterinarian. Pet insurance is a great option for pet owners, but most insurances do not cover pre-existing conditions. How are you going to afford veterinary care during an emergency? Luckily there are several ways you can afford your vet care and begin saving for emergency funds.
How to Afford Veterinary Care
With some help, you can bridge the gap between financial constraints and your furry companions. Here are a few things to do when you can’t afford vet care.
Find the Right Pet Insurance
One of the best ways to afford veterinary care is to find the right pet insurance. Choosing a pet insurance plan while surgery or treatment is currently happening doesn’t help, but for future emergencies, pet insurance may help cover most medical treatments. Make sure to do your research to find the pet insurance provider that’s perfect for your four-legged friend.
Ask for Payment Plans
Someone wise once said if you don’t ask, you do not receive. Some veterinarians will consider payment plans depending on treatment and procedures. While this can be tough for some vets to accommodate, it never hurts to ask. Some places have annual health plans for your pets to help afford regular veterinary care. Keep in mind, these payment plans are typically for basic care, like vaccinations and annual checkups.
Start a Pet Savings Account
What are you supposed to do when you can’t afford emergency vet care? Just like adults, your four-legged friends need an emergency fund, too. Having a little bit of extra cash for those emergencies can help in the long run. Most pets may undergo at least one emergency vet visit in their lifetimes. If this happens, you do not want to be stuck with an overwhelming pet medical bill. Set aside a few dollars each month for your companion. It may be worth it.
Apply For a Loan
Did you know that you can apply for a loan to cover your pet’s medical bills? That’s right. You can cover your emergency vet bills through a personal loan. Pay off those veterinary bills fast with a short-term installment loan. Installment loans provide a little bit of wiggle room to help you pay those vet bills, rather than being locked into a “pay it all now” type of due date.
