Pet Insurance
Why does Health Risk Services provide our clients the opportunity to purchase Pet Insurance?
Because Pet insurance is like having health benefits for your pet! It’s a unique way to ensure that whenever you need to, you can provide your pet with the very best of care. After all, health benefits for Canadians are what Health Risk Services does best!!
Why would you choose to insure your pet?
Because, as pet parents, we believe we can protect our pets from harm. Yet, if you think about it, no matter how much love and care we provide, accidents and illness are still beyond our control.
What can Pet Insurance to for me?
It can remove financial concerns in crucial times involving your pet. Being a pet parent is very rewarding; however, it also comes with responsibility and commitment. Even in tough financial times, investing in pet health insurance is a great way to keep your pet’s health and your finances on track. Even more important, Pet Insurance gives you the confidence of knowing that when you need to, you can provide your pet with the very best veterinary treatment and care – you’re prepared for the unexpected.
Each year, there are tremendous advances in veterinary treatment. However, the cost of providing the very best care can be high. While there’s no public health system in Canada for pets, with Pet Insurance you always know your pets will have access to excellent medical care if they suddenly become sick, develop a serious medical condition, or suffer any injuries.
