Surgery Coverage with Pets Best
Surgery for any family member is an uncertain, stressful process. Unfortunately, our dogs and cats are no exception and sometimes require routine or emergency surgical care. One of the advantages of pet insurance is not having to decide between providing the best care possible and over-extending personal finances. Having the right pet insurance plan offers the peace of mind that all pet parents will appreciate, and Pets Best has a variety of plans to suit any budget and provide the insurance coverage your pet needs.

Is Surgery Coverage for Your Pet Worth It?
Like any medical decision, it is important to ask questions and do your research. The cost of pet insurance will depend on various factors including where you live, the age and breed of your pet, general health and what type of protection you want. Pet insurance with surgery coverage is not just a good idea for older pets, but for all pets because even a young and healthy dog or cat may require surgery.
Does Pet Insurance Cover Surgery?
The BestBenefit Accident and Illness Plan covers a broad range of pet surgeries and provides maximum protection for your family. With Pets Best, you can choose a policy that not only covers unexpected surgeries due to an emergency, but also unexpected surgeries for cancer-treatment, hip dysplasia, mass and tumor removals, and cataracts if they are not considered pre-existing. Families can also add coverage for routine pet care with a BestWellness or EssentialWellness plan.
