What To Know About Pet Insurance In Hong Kong
If you are considering keeping a pet in Hong Kong, you may be wondering whether it’s worth opting for a pet insurance policy. Pet ownership in Hong Kong has undergone exponential growth over the last decade. However, of all the cats and dogs kept as pets, as low as 3% are covered by pet insurance in Hong Kong. This is much lower than in other countries, as the lack of options and high premiums often deter owners.
Popular Options for Pet Insurance In Hong Kong:
If you are thinking about taking out pet insurance in Hong Kong, it’s a wise choice to purchase one sooner than later, especially if your pet is known to suffer from breed-specific ailments. Most companies don’t offer new policies for dogs over eight years old but will renew their existing ones.
The basic plans only cover consultations whereas the most expensive even insure against missing pets, funeral plans and travel cancellations. Pure breeds which are prone to congenital issues have higher premiums and fighting dogs are excluded altogether. Always check with the insurance provider and read the fine print!
Apart from pet insurance, remember that prevention is always better than cure. So, do remember to desex your pet, get those yearly vaccinations and don’t forget the regular de-flea, de-worm, heartworm pills and tick collars. These simple things could save your pet’s life and prevent you from heart (and wallet) burn.
