Routine Pet Healthcare Is Beneficial

Regular Visits To The Vet Keep Pets Healthy Longer Just as annual visits to the doctor are important for people, routine veterinary care is critical to the long-term health of your pet. Your veterinarian's familiarity with your pet, routine blood panels and health screens, along with regular weigh-ins, listening to the heart and lungs, and examing ears, eyes and even the pads of your pet's paws can help keep him in tip-top shape.

Bi-Annual Exams Make A Difference The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) emphasizes the benefits of routine care through their national publicity campaign, “Twice A Year For Life.”  The AVMA advises that two annual wellness exams are the best way to ensure that any potentially life-threatening condition is caught early.  Responsible pet owners agree that routine care impacts the health, quality of life and longevity of their pets. The demand for routine care coverage continues to increase. Pet Owners Ask For Routine Care Coverage More than 80% of VPI Pet Insurance’s policyholders enroll their pets in Pet WellCare Protection coverage. In a recent study conducted by VPI, pet owners expected routine care to be an integral part of their pets’ health insurance policies.  Why? Because while their pets’ base medical plans assist them with unexpected veterinary expenses, routine care coverage reimburses them for expenses they expect.   Routine care coverage reimburses pet owners for veterinary expenses they expect.
