Adults now in their 20s and 30s are known as a generation of pet owners, 76% of us own pets! Unlike our parents though, we like to take care of our pets in ways they never imagined; we’ve all heard some of our friends throw around the term “fur baby.” Though what’s comes with years of companionship is the skyrocketing cost of vet visits. We’d do anything for our pets, but having to deal with a bill totaling $5,000 from the vet after they eat a mystery plastic is a difficult choice. Luckily, with the pandemic boom in telemedicine has come an innovation in pet care: Pawp.
Pawp is a pet insurance alternative that utilizes the internet to bring down the costs of taking care of your pet. Here are 3 ways that Pawp helps with taking care of your little one:
Always accessible online vet support
Taking your pet to the vet can be costly, even if nothing turns up. With the cost of just walking in the door averaging $150 per visit, a false alarm could cost you more than you think. Pawp has a whole team of vets ready 24/7 to help you answer any questions when an emergency comes up. You can feel free to connect with Pawp’s professional, experienced veterinary team at any time day or night thanks to their telemedicine support. After talking to a vet online they recommend whether you should take your pet to the emergency room, saving you money and hours of worrying.
Emergency fund availability
It’s sad to say but more than 66% of pets who are euthanized are considered adoptable by the Humane Society of the United States. These adoptable pets are put to sleep because their owners can’t afford treatment, something called “economic euthanasia.” To save your pet, Pawp provides each subscriber with $3,000 a year for one emergency vet visit for any of their pets (up to six). Once it has been determined your pet has an emergency, you can rush them to the animal hospital without worrying about a bill. You’ll never have to dread choosing between a beloved family member and your rent ever again. There are no out-of-pocket expenses before you can access your fund, so if it’s less than $3,000 you won’t have to pay anything at all and it is paid directly at the vet.
Cover your whole family
Usually, you would have to pay for each pet to cover them, but Pawp understands how important each pet is to you and your family. Pet insurance has to consider the age and health of each pet, and usually, plans won’t cover pre-existing conditions. With Pawp however, there’s just one monthly fee; you can cover up to 6 pets with this pet insurance alternative. No exams, no age limits, no check for preexisting conditions. Just $19/month and your entire family will be protected with Pawp’s vet telemedicine network and emergency fund.
The internet has completely revolutionized pet care, and while online vet support is new, Pawp is on the leading edge. Whether you prefer texting, calling, or telemedicine, their team of professional veterinarians is ready to give your family member all the help and care that they need for a long, healthy life.
