Should Pet Health Insurance Become an Imperative for Improvement of Pets’ Quality of Life?

To promote good quality of live (QoL) for pets, veterinarians should have more opportunity for communication with pet owners. We presume that this may be accomplished with introducing a pet health insurance ; hence, we offered a questionnaire to dog and cat owners to verify their opinion. Our results had shown that many owners appreciated the idea of a health insurance for their pets. Indeed, 50.5% responders would immediately pay for their pet health insurance, although 56.5% of owners would take their pet equally frequently to a vet as now. Major part of owners would like that alternative medicine and euthanasia are covered with health insurance. The majority of responders agreed that other pet species (except dogs and cats) should be covered with insurance, too.
