Insurance for our 4-Legged Kids

One of the great things about living in Lincoln City is how friendly our community is to pet lovers. There are some great open spaces to walk our pets, including parks, trails and the beach. Heck even our Outlet Mall is pet friendly! How cool is that? You know, we have missed social contact during the pandemic and it has been of great comfort to know that we can cuddle with our furry babies and get the feel-good boost we need. We can give back love to our pets by making sure they are well cared for. Part of that care includes pet insurance. Most pet insurance carriers offer a variety of plans from basic coverage to very comprehensive plans which include preventative care, dental benefits and even massage therapy. Now I know you are asking yourself why is pet insurance important? Let me tell you a short story and you can decide for yourself. Jenny in our office has four pets, one is a rabbit named Audrey Hopburn. Audrey broke her leg last year and developed a serious infection. The Vet told Jenny that the only way to save Audrey’s life was to amputate her leg. The cost of surgery and follow up treatments were more than $3,000. If Jenny had pet insurance, she would have paid just a small portion of that expense. My little Rat Terrier Mickey Mouse had congestive heart failure and medical treatments over his life were over $10,000…I am thankful I had pet insurance to care for him and improve the quality of his life. You can read about Audrey’s medical journey and see pictures of her and our other “office fur- babies” on our Facebook page Charlotte Lehto Insurance Agency.
