Annual Pet Insurance: How It Could Provide Savings for Dog Owners
(firmenpresse) - LEEDS, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwired) -- 05/02/13 -- Asda Money reveals that Brits are a nation of animal lovers, with research showing that there are around 8 million dogs in the UK(1).
While keeping a dog can be great fun; offering companionship, and a friendly addition to the family, the costs of looking after pets over an average lifetime can be sky-high.
The average annual vet bill has now hit GBP 177(2), which is an expense many households may struggle to meet in the current economic climate.
Asda Money looks at how pet insurance could help to save on animal care costs.
Protecting your pet for less
According to the RSPCA dogs can live between 12 and 14 years meaning that vet bills can quickly add up(3).
Figures show that the dog owners spend an average of GBP 144.53 a year on vet fees(4), although costs can vary between breeds.
More than a third (38%) of pet owners surveyed argued that they had difficulty in meeting these costs(4).
To help you to spread the cost of caring for your dogs, some insurers will allow you to pay for pet insurance on a monthly basis, without charge.
Dog owners may also find that veterinary costs can vary from region to region. As an example research revealed that the cost of spaying a two-year-old female Labrador in London and the South East ranged from GBP 98 to GBP 255(4).
However, by taking out annual pet insurance you can be confident that your monthly premiums will remain fixed.
could help you provide the cover you need for your four-legged furry friend, including helping to meet the cost of vet's fees.
