The best time to talk about pet insurance is when a patient brings their puppy or kitten in for the first time. New pet parents are looking for guidance regarding what they should be providing for their pet.
Step 2
Talk About Pet Insurance
Pet owners consider vets the primary authority on their pet’s health. To increase the percentage of insured animals and ensure pet parents can accept the treatment options you think are best, veterinarians and vet staff should proactively ask their patients if they have pet insurance.
Pawlicy Advisor Tip
The sooner a pet is insured the more likely any conditions or injuries that may arise will be covered (and not excluded as "pre-existing conditions").
Step 3
Let them know Pawlicy Advisor can help
Once a patient has said they’re interested in learning more about the pet insurance options available to them, offer them a Pawlicy Advisor brochure so they can compare insurance plans when they’re ready. Pawlicy Advisor is completely free for pet parents to use and guarantees the lowest price.
