Why is pet insurance important in Rhode Island?
Dogs and cats are truly cherished in Rhode Island, whether they’re joining you at the beach, exploring historic towns, or enjoying cozy time at home. More pet parents here are choosing insurance so they’re financially ready for unexpected illnesses or mishaps in the sand, water, grass, or around the house.
Beyond the usual accidents and illnesses, pets may face risks like: parasites spread by wildlife droppings, ingestion of toxic foods or plants, and tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease.
There are also environmental factors that can affect Rhode Island pets: sand and water hazards at beaches, prevalence of raccoon rabies, toxic algae blooms on lakes, leptospirosis in soil and water.
