Your Cat magazine

How are you coping with the credit crunch? With vets costs increasing, have you got pet insurance for your cat?

With veterinary charges increasing at a regular rate of knots, it really is an essential these days, especially when the 'credit crunch' is the buzzword of the year.

Modern diagnostic techniques and medications can be pricey and a long-term, chronic illness could leave you with a serious financial headache. Not what's needed at all.

We all hope that pets remain in the best of health throughout their lives - but, sadly, the inevitable does happen and this is where insurance comes in.

Pet insurance covers all sorts of weird and wonderful eventualities; for instance, if your cat is stolen, some providers stump up the cost of advertising and a reward, or even cover the cost of your holiday if you can't go because your pet's poorly. Yet often these are added as hype to sell a policy and rarely claimed.

Spend time choosing the right policy for you. When applying for a policy be sure to disclose all your pet's medical history. This might push up premiums in the short term, but will save money in the long term, as providers won't pay up if they suspect that the problem already existed.....
