What is Pet Insurance?
Pet insurance is a financial safety net designed to help cover the eligible costs of covered veterinary care for your pet. Pet insurance can reimburse you for the eligible costs of unexpected accidents, and illnesses. Some providers offer optional wellness add-ons to help cover the eligible costs of routine wellness visits too.
Why We Recommend Pet Insurance in New Brunswick?
Frostbite
New Brunswick's harsh winters can pose a serious risk of frostbite for pets, even those with thick fur. Contrary to some beliefs, no pet should be left outdoors for extended periods in freezing temperatures, as both dogs and cats are susceptible to frostbite. While dogs may enjoy short walks and exercise, they should primarily stay indoors during the winter months. Signs that a pet is suffering from the cold may include excessive shivering, lifting or biting their paws, refusing to play outside, and displaying behavioral changes like disorientation or confusion.¹
Parasitic Infection
Deer ticks (also known as blacklegged ticks) found in New Brunswick are carriers of bacteria that can cause Lyme disease and anaplasmosis, both of which can have serious health implications for humans and pets. Pet parents in the province need to be especially vigilant as tick populations and the duration of tick season have been on the rise in recent years, increasing the risk of exposure to these diseases.²
