Pet insurance urged for Christmas additions
Many parents will have got their child a pet as a present this Christmas, but few will have considered the importance of pet insurance, it has been claimed.Fair Investment Company is advising people who have got new pets this Christmas to ensure their new additions to the family are properly covered by pet insurance.People are being advised to cover their pet now while the animal is still young, because this can help to keep costs low and cover expensive veterinary bills later in its life.David Doulton, director at Fair Investment Company, said: "It is exciting for a child to get a pet for Christmas; it is a good way of teaching children responsibility, and one of the most important things they can do is ask mum and dad to get it a comprehensive pet insurance policy."He explained: "Pet insurance needn't be expensive, but it can provide your pet with the essential care it needs in case it is injured or becomes ill. Vet bills can be very expensive, so insurance can save a lot of money in the long run."
