Pet Health Insurance

Pet Insurance

Blythwood and Well Animal Clinic advocate the use of pet insurance to provide clients with the peace of mind that the majority of unexpected costs of veterinary treatment can be covered. Advances in both human and veterinary medicine mean that there are a growing number of ways in which health problems can be investigated and treated in our pets. Some of these are costly but pet health insurance reduces the financial burden, allowing owners a wider choice of treatment options. We have a firm belief that any treatment should be in the best interests of the animal and proportionate to the nature of the problem. Although health insurance facilitates the delivery of optimum health care, we are strongly opposed to the fraudulent use of insurance company money to fund unnecessary treatment.

We regret that it is only in specific circumstances we are able to claim  costs directly from the insurance company. Although this places a temporary financial burden on clients - which we hope our credit card facilities may help with - it means that clients remain in control of expenditure, all parties are aware of each cost incurred and the reasoning behind the proposed treatment can be explained and discussed.
