Pet insurance pays the veterinary costs if one's pet becomes ill or is injured in an accident. Some policies will also pay out when the pet dies, or if it's lost or stolen. The purpose of pet insurance is to mitigate the risk of incurring significant expense to treat ill or injured pets. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pets' health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased. HistoryThe first pet insurance policy was written in 1890 by Claes Virgin. Virgin was the founder of Länsförsäkrings Alliance, at that time he focused on horses and livestock. In 1947 the first pet insurance policy was sold in Britain. As of 2009, Britain has the second-highest level of pet insurance in the world (23%), behind only Sweden. In 1982 the first pet insurance policy sold in the United States was issued to television's Lassie by Veterinary Pet Insurance (VPI). From Wikipedia under the

Asked by gillysgirl23 - Mon Jun 29 20:11:18 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. QuickCare Pet Insurance is one of the best deals I have found on the Internet. The good thing about their insurance program is that you can choose from different programs, and decide on how much coverage you would like to get for your dog while at the same time choosing how much of a premium you would like to pay on a monthly basis as well as how high a deductible you are willing to pay before insurance covers pet care expenses. In other words, if you would like to get comprehensive coverage, you may have a higher deductible or pay a higher monthly premium.

Most pet owners think that pet insurance is expensive which is why they choose not to get any insurance for their dear companions.
