Why Get Pet Insurance in Illinois?
Pets in Illinois are certainly no stranger to getting into accidents and becoming sick unexpectedly. Young puppies and kittens often eat things that they shouldn’t and get into mischief that may lead to broken bones and other injuries. Older pets start to feel the effects of congenital and hereditary conditions, which can get very expensive to pay for if ongoing treatment is needed. The five most common claims to Healthy Paws from Illinois pet parents are for skin conditions, gastritis, pain, ear infections and eye conditions.
Extremely hot and cold temperatures affect Illinois pets’ health each year. Meanwhile, many Illinois pets suffer from unexpected injuries which may require surgery to improve their quality of life. Because of the rising costs of veterinary treatment in the state, pet insurance is definitely worth considering in Illinois.
