The Veterinarians and PetCare Team of Suffolk Veterinary Group Animal Wellness & Laser Surgery Center highly encourage all of their families to enroll their pets in some form of Pet Health Insurance.  There is such a wide variety of companies and programs out there it is almost certain you will find the right one for your needs and budget.

Bring your pet’s insurance claim form during your pet’s visit for the Veterinarians to fill out.  With Pet Health Insurance, payment is due up front, but after you submit your claim form to your pet health insurance provider, you will be reimbursed based upon your policy specifications.  Pet Health Insurance is particularly important for older pets with chronic medical conditions that require lots of veterinarian visits, in unexpected emergencies, and for chemotherapy treatments.  If you have any questions, please stop by our hospital for literature.

Suffolk Veterinary Group Animal Wellness & Laser Surgery Center does not endorse any one particular pet health insurance company over another, believing that you are the ones best able to make the decision as to which plan provider is right for you and your pet.  Provided below are links to websites of pet health insurance companies to assist you in your research as to the best policy to fit your pet’s particular needs.

However, in 2014 the entire Nationwide Insurance family of companies—including VPI—made the historic move to join together as one company, one culture and one brand: Nationwide. Though our name may be different, our calling remains the same: To help all pets get the care they need. Because above all, we stand behind the promise that Nationwide is on your side.”
