Make Plan to Care for Pets
Dog lovers should be ready to cover the high cost of pet ownership. More than five million Britons own at least one dog, according to Tesco Pet Insurance, and they need to watch their budget to make certain they can care for them.
A mere twelve percent of pet owners purchase insurance for their pets. People who do not have insurance could face high fees from their veterinarians, according to the financial services provider.
Caring for a pet can have a “hefty” price, according to company representative Allan Burns, who says he is concerned by many pet owners’ lack of preparation.
The company is offering a 20 percent discount to customers who purchase insurance for their pets over the internet and a 10 percent discount for those who contact the company over the phone.
Thirty-eight percent of pet owners admitted to Mintel, the marketing research firm, that they were not certain they could afford veterinary treatment for their pets, according to Tesco.
Moneyfacts suggests that some people with large vet bills might find a solution in debt consolidation loans.
