Rabbit Insurance Covers Your Cuddly Friend
Your cuddly rabbit friend is a companion you love to hug, talk to and play with. Even though many rabbits are small, the veterinary bills can get quite large and even run into tens of hundreds of pounds. While some people only remember the beauty of bunnies at Easter, you love your rabbit all the days of the year and you want her to be in the best possible health. By getting rabbit insurance, you are prepared to take care of your rabbit under any circumstances. Instead of worrying about how you will pay for the care your pet needs, you will feel reassured you have rabbit insurance to cover those unexpected veterinary expenses.
Jabs for Flopsy
Vaccinations are an essential way to protect your rabbit against serious diseases. You will want to vaccinate your rabbit against these potentially deadly diseases and some pet insurance policies may require these jabs. Because of the large wild rabbit population in the UK, myxomatosis is now a widespread disease and can especially strike rabbits who spend time outdoors. A regular jab can prevent Flopsy from suffering with this often fatal disease and may be administered to rabbits six weeks of age or older. Another contagious, fatal disease that can be prevented with regular jabs is viral heaemorrhagic disease (VHD), which may be given to rabbits who are ten weeks of age or older. Getting rabbit insurance ensures you will be ready to take care of Flopsy and get ongoing veterinary care when the time comes.
Flopsy Gets Ill or Injured
Even if you get vaccinations for Flopsy, she may still get injured or ill. When you have rabbit insurance, you can get the immediate treatment Flopsy needs. Rabbit insurance policies may even cover boarding fees for hospitalization, transportation fees if your rabbit needs care at another veterinary facility and a missed holiday if your rabbit gets sick at the time you are scheduled to go away. Having rabbit insurance can take a little bit of the stress out of having a sick or injured rabbit.
Flopsy's Dental Care
A specific concern for rabbits is overgrown teeth. Rabbits needs to chew on roughage for at least four hours daily to wear down their teeth and have proper digestion. If Flopsy's teeth become overgrown, filing under general anesthesia may be required. Ongoing veterinary care is important to ensure that Flopsy's has the proper diet and her teeth are in good shape. When you have rabbit insurance, you can provide the continuing veterinary care your rabbit needs without worrying about the bills.
Flopsy's Skin Care
Your rabbit can rapidly develop skin conditions that lead to problems requiring veterinary care. Even when you keep Flopsy clean and dry, her bottom may get soggy and cause flystrike, which can create major skin discomfort. Long-haired rabbits are particularly prone to skin problems and may require ongoing veterinary care. Having rabbit insurance gives you the peace of mind to do everything you can to make Flopsy comfortable.
More to Cover Flopsy
Certain rabbit insurance policies may even cover costs related to a lost or stolen rabbit or for any damage or injury that Flopsy may inadvertently cause.
Rabbit insurance gives you the peace of mind to take care of your loyal,
fuzzy friend without having to worry about mounting bills.
