Make sure that you read this blog to find out why YOUR kitty needs cat health insurance today!
We’re pretty sure you’ve heard one of the biggest myths around pet insurance: that cats don’t need it. Especially in comparison to dogs that are more boisterous and mischievous. Well, we’re here to let you know that this is totally FALSE. Your cat totally needs pet insurance and we’re going to explain why this myth isn’t only harmful but why you need to sign up TODAY if you haven’t already.
Why do you think your cat doesn’t need it?
Well, if you are like many cat parents across the globe, then you have probably somehow come to the conclusion that cats are seen as the “easier” pet to have. You don’t need to rush home to let them out to pee or take them on daily walks.
Instead, they’re pretty self-sufficient. You can count on them to groom and entertain themselves. And while there is some fact to all of this, believing this myth could put your fur baby in serious danger.
Yes, yes, we totally recognise that cats are usually very independent, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need help. See, every single day we see a number of pet parents that have joined the Oneplan Family, feeling so relieved that they got cat health insurance.
In fact, here are five reasons why!
Five reasons why you need cat health insurance
Vet bills aren’t cheap
Over the last decade, veterinarians have discovered a number of incredible preventative procedures. In fact, their entire industry has undergone some amazing findings and inventions… that will, unfortunately, break the bank.
As you know, scientific inventions aren’t cheap, or even slightly affordable, especially for the average South African household. From the diagnostics to the treatments and then the prescriptions, vet bills can easily set you back tens of thousands. From illnesses to accidental injuries, taking your cat to the doctor is going to cost you a pretty penny… unless you have cat health insurance.

Your cat is good at hiding its symptoms
As we have already discovered, cats are pretty sedentary by nature. Basically, this means that you are less likely to notice if they are experiencing any illnesses. It generally takes a while before their symptoms become visible, and by then it has usually progressed pretty badly.
By having cat health insurance, you can regularly take your cat in for check-ups to ensure that they are happy and healthy!
Cat illnesses are incredibly common
As mentioned earlier, not only are cats super good at hiding their illnesses, but they are also prone to a number of life-threatening diseases too. Including even your indoor cat! Some of the most common cat health problems include kidney failure, cancer, heart disease, thyroid problems and more!
Your cat may have breed-specific conditions
Yes, your cat may face a number of medical issues, but they could also have breed-specific conditions that can become quite costly. The reality is that certain cat breeds are prone to experiencing a number of illnesses and diseases.
By taking out cat health insurance as soon as possible, you can curb some of the costs associated with your pet’s treatment. Remember that there is no way to predict the costs associated with your cat’s breed-specific conditions, so you’ll definitely want to have coverage.
