🐾 September is National Pet Insurance Month!

Nobody likes thinking about their pet getting sick or injured. However, having a plan for unexpected veterinary costs can make those situations a little easier to navigate.

One option some pet owners consider is pet insurance.

Pet insurance can help reimburse certain veterinary expenses, depending on the policy. Plans can differ, so it’s worth taking a little time to see what options are available and what works for your family.

A few things to know:

🐾 Coverage varies.
Some plans cover accidents, some cover accidents and illnesses, and some offer optional coverage for routine care.

🐾 You’ll still have out-of-pocket costs.
Plans may include a deductible, reimbursement percentage, and coverage limits.

🐾 Starting early can matter.
Pre-existing conditions are commonly excluded, and policies may have waiting periods.

🐾 Insurance isn’t the only option.
Some pet owners choose to set aside money each month in an emergency fund instead.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best plan is the one that fits your pet, your budget, and your family.

The goal isn’t to expect the worst, it’s simply to be prepared just in case. 🐾

Check out this need from Palms-N-Paws Animal Shelter! These are the plastic hard shell crates!

✈️ 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀! 🐾

A few of our Palms-N-Paws dogs have an upcoming opportunity to catch a flight with , and we’re looking for airline-approved crates to help get them on their way!

Our biggest needs right now are:

🐶 36" x 27" x 25"
🐶 32" x 25" x 22"
These sizes are typically used for dogs around 30–50 lbs.

Have an airline crate sitting around that’s a different size? We’ll gladly take those too! We’re hopeful there will be more opportunities for our shelter pets to catch a flight in the future, so having a variety of sizes on hand will help us be ready when the next opportunity comes along. ✈️❤️

If you have an airline crate you’d like to donate, please bring it by Palms-N-Paws Animal Shelter. Every donation helps us make the most of opportunities like these for our animals! 🐾
