Why is pet insurance important in North Carolina?
North Carolina pet parents love including their dogs and cats in all of life’s adventures, from beaches and lakes to city parks and mountain hikes. With so many opportunities for pets to get sick or injured, having coverage helps ensure you’re prepared for the unexpected.
Beyond the usual accidents and illnesses, pets may face risks like: ticks and Lyme disease, injuries from dangerous wildlife encounters and heat-related incidents.
There are also environmental factors that can affect North Carolina pets: heat and humidity, hurricanes and flooding, toxic algal blooms in fresh water.
