Why is pet insurance important in Illinois?
Illinois pets are treasured family members—joining us at local parks, cheering on sports teams, and snuggling up during cold winters. With a vibrant pet culture and unpredictable accidents or illnesses, having pet insurance helps ensure your companion gets the care they need without financial stress.
Beyond the usual accidents and illnesses, pets may face risks like: tick-borne diseases, injuries from wildlife encounters (including 4 types of venomous snake) and Avian Influenza exposure.
There are also environmental factors that can affect Illinois pets: extremely hot and cold temperatures, unpredictable injuries from active lifestyles, and risks from pets eating things they shouldn’t.
