Pet Insurance NZ, Worth It?

Pet Insurance NZ, Worth It?

Is pet insurance worth it? It depends on the animal; If they're a little crazy, sktizy and can't be trusted around roads, then perhaps it is worth it. However, companies offering pet insurance are profiting, meaning that they charge more than the average payout figures. Most people don't claim the value they pay in premiums. It would be smarter to put that money aside each week, and if they get stuck with an emergency bill, to ask us for a pet loan.
