Overview

What's missing in most books about pet insurance is a veterinarian's perspective. This is important because veterinarians diagnose and treat the problems that pet insurance policyholders end up filing claims for. Dr. Kenney spent over 42 years in small animal practice as well as over a decade writing and podcasting about the pet insurance industry. Therefore, he is able to make you aware of what needs to be covered in a pet insurance policy as well as other factors to consider that most pet insurance books or websites don't even address. You'll learn the # 1 reason claims are denied and the steps you can take to minimize the chances of this happening to you. You'll learn who ought to consider buying pet insurance vs. those who may not benefit from insuring their pet. The book contains links to bonus content (articles, audio and video clips) that will give the reader a more in-depth understanding of the topics covered in the book. It also has a worksheet to help pet owners formulate a plan for paying for their pet's healthcare expenses.

The information presented is extremely helpful and easy to understand. This one book contains all of the information that you need to make the correct decision. I recommend it to pet owners and potential pet owners wanting to be proactive in the care of their pet. -Dee Dee Davis - Cordova, TN Dr. Kenney reminds us that all too often pet owners are unprepared for unexpected medical expenses. That is why I started pet insurance for pets in the U.S. to provide pet owners the option of always being prepared financially when the unexpected and expensive happens. Dr. Kenney provides practical, savvy advice on finding the best pet insurance for you and your pet. -Jack L. Stephens DVM - Founder of VPI and Pets Best pet insurance companies In this volatile and uncertain economy, the veterinary community must encourage early preventative medical and dental care that helps their pet friends live longer, happier, and healthier lives. What better way to put this philosophy into practice than by encouraging a comprehensive pet health insurance plan for pet owners. Dr. Kenney has provided the veterinary community a valuable read regarding how to understand, navigate through, and encourage your team members to promote and utilize pet insurance. -Barden Greenfield, DVM, Dipl.AVDC - Board Certified Specialist inDentistry This book is a valuable resource for both veterinarians andpet owners. The information provided by Dr. Kenney will enhance awarenessregarding the costs of veterinary care and help to reduce the detrimentalimpacts of this issue on veterinarians, pet owners, and ourbeloved animalcompanions. Ideally, all veterinarians should provide this book to theirclients to empower them to facilitate the best medical care available for theirpet's lifetime. - Barry Kipperman, DVM, DACVIM - Internal medicine specialist As medical insurance for cats and dogs has become more mainstream for responsible loving pet owners in North America, Dr. Kenney's book is an important resource to help pet owners decide which will be the best company to support them throughout the life of their pet. - Darryl Rawlings, Founder and CEO - Trupanion Pet Insurance As a Veterinarian who truly values medically insured pets, I found this to be a very helpful resource for pet owners. It is a great roadmap for owner's to understand the array of products that are available to them and the importance on having their pet medically insured. This would also be a fantastic book for any Veterinarian to read who hasn't realized how important it is to protect our ability to practice high quality medicine in the future when service costs are getting so high and technology is advancing so rapidly. - Dr. Heather Steyn, Owner, Advanced Animal Care of Colorado As an ER vet, I've had to euthanize literally thousands of pets due to finances, and I'm sick of it. There's always been a big disconnect between what veterinary medicine can do for animals to keep them healthy, or even alive, and what it actually does do - largely because of out-of-pocket expense for care. Pet insurance makes it so pet owners can say yes to caring for their pet's medical needs rather than have to euthanize them due to money. Dr. Kenney's no-nonsense, impartial guide to pet insurance gives pet owners the information necessary to make an informed decision about life-saving insurance for their pets and lets them know exactly how to go about getting the best policy for their pets. -Dr. Tony Johnson, DACVECC - board certified emergency and critical care specialist
