Pet insurance can be a valuable tool for helping maintain a pet’s health.

Pet insurance can help provide additional peace of mind, letting pet parents feel more secure in knowing their pet is protected.
Why We Recommend Pet Insurance in Alberta?
Tick-Borne Diseases
Pet parents in Alberta need to be particularly vigilant about ticks and tick-borne diseases. While often associated with warmer climates, ticks are becoming increasingly prevalent in Alberta, posing a risk to both pets and humans.¹ One of the most concerning tick-borne illnesses is Lyme disease, which can infect dogs through a bite from an infected tick. Initially, you might notice a large, round, red rash around the bite site on your dog. However, if left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to severe infections in the skin, joints, muscles, heart, and even the nervous system.²
