Why is comprehensive specialist and emergency room pet insurance coverage important?
Veterinary blogger Dr. Patty Khuly talks about why veterinary emergency hospitals are more expensive than general ones. Among the reasons she cites for expensive emergency care are:
- Being open longer hours mean higher payroll expense for the hospital
- Specialized equipment to handle emergency pet care cases that a general veterinary hospital may not be equipped for
- 24/7 availability for pet emergencies carries higher maintenance and overhead than a general animal hospital
With pet insurance coverage for emergency care, you and your veterinarian can focus on doing the right thing for your pet without worrying about how to pay for it.
